Just joined the forums and wanted introduce myself. I'll be picking up a '99 magnetic red coupe today. The first years of the C5 got me into cars growing up, so it's pretty cool to finally own one. I read most of the stickies on the forums and found them extremely useful when taking a second look at the car. It has 96k on the clock and looks like it's just getting broken in. It has a six speed and appears to be bone stock other than a wicked sounding cat-back exhaust. Anyway, i'll be sure to post some pictures when I pick it up. In the meantime, I look forward to finding some useful information on the site.
