After 13 Years...
The time to say goodbye arrived today. 
113,000 miles, lotsa tires (including a set of snow tires
) and a bunch of memories later.
Just got too good of a deal on the new 2011 in the background.

Both my 99 and my new 11 are both really basic (new one is 1LT with dual mode exhaust, chrome wheels and the J55 brakes)
The good/bad news? I paid REALLY close to the same amount for both of them (not including trade in value and including the Clinton tax and M6 option on the C5) there just is not any demand for C6's.
My ride home from the dealer included one of the better twisty roads in the Texas hill country, and while my C5 was Z51 and fun, the C6 so far has been awesome.
