Default Well off I go

but not totally,

My time here in the C5 section over the past 5 years has been great. I've learned many things from everyone here and was able to mod my 04 with the things I learned. Thanks for all your help.

I recently purchased a 2013 Night Race Blue Z06. Looks like I will have to split my time now between here and the C6 Z06 forum as I decided to hang onto my C5 versus letting it go. Just couldn't talk myself into parting with it. Hopefully I won't neglect it.

The newest addition



My 04




I hope I can restrain from mod fever on the Z.

Congrats on the new Z06! Also, congrats on keeping the C5! It's great to be able to add to the stable.

I also want to add a Z06 (C7?) to the stable in the future, however I do not want to part with my C5 vert after all the personalized mods I've performed.

I second that. That's one of the hottest C6 Z's I have seen. Love that color!!

Beautiful Z you just bought. Will certainly be a nice stablemate for the C5.

JEALOUS. I have a 2000 Navy Blue Metallic and when I saw the 2013 Night Race Blue I was hooked on that color. Nice Ride!

Congratulations on your new ride!! As the others have said, were glad you could keep your C5. I always loved the pics you had of it when it was outlined by the white sand. Really sharp!

Thanks everyone, appreciate the kind words. I can thank my wife for keeping the C5, she put to me this way. You've done all the mods to the car to get it where you wanted it and you won't get the $$ for you have in it. So just keep it. OK talked me into it, I will.
