Hello C5 Group
Just joined the C5 family with a 2000 Black on Black convertible after upgrading from an 82 CE. I look forward to learning more about the car.

Congrats on getting a C5 - you'll find it is vastly different than the '82 you had. Nice looking ride.

I have an 04 blk on blk coupe. They are sharp, sleek and fun to drive. Be prepared for much wiping down to hold the shine. I use a California Duster almost every day.
