Most of us have strayed once in our lifetime. We usually regrete it.

Don't feel bad. I started thinking that seven vettes ago. I always ended up getting another. Now the Kia thing, you might want to seek professional help on that one. A Kia!

You know it isn't. I liked the gadgets; turbo, rear view camera, navigation, heated and air conditioning seats. It also has a panoramic sunroof and 10/100k warranty - all of that for $31k With Kah-lee-foh-neea tax.
it still wasn't a vette

All of you guys go to your garage for me and stare at your vettes....my garage is empty

Repent, for you have sinned.

Now get out there and find a proper C5 toy again and you shall be forgiven.

Yep, he was into spandex and the other Beatles had to wear suits.

Aww man can you give a fellow Californian some slack? I feel like I'm wearing goodwill clothes at a brand new fancy high school.

Just admitting you sold your vert for a Akia is punishment enough i guess.

Best was only an average drummer. As I recall Paul and John had wanted Ringo all along and finally got rid of Best because he had the personality of a door ****. Ringo barely knew who the Beatles were till shortly before being approached about joining the Fab Four. Ringo, even though he was known as "the Sad Beatle" had a lot more flair on stage than Best. Now everyone knows how old I really am!

Been thinking of buying an Optima for a "beater", but not to replace my C5.

Yes, I'm a cautionary tale. Do not get rid of the C5. While the Kia would be a great beater you will not have stories of beautiful women you met in a kia to tell your buddies during a nice barbecue. I miss having 3 pedals, and as i read somewhere 3 pedals = red blooded American.
