Default c5 trade

Ill be joining you guys on the forum, today i traded my 95
coupe {a toy} and my chevrolet malibu even up

Congrats on the upgrade. If you get a chance, check out a C-6 as well. If you are ever out this way, feel free to come by and you can try it out. I've got both the C-5('99) and C-6('07). Both are quite a bit different and yet similar in a lot of ways. In my opinion, the C-5 rides nicer and of course its got more leg room. The C-6 has more get up and go, more bells and whistles and sharper lines.
