I have been following a post with a new member from Moscow, Russia. He told me in a PM he had to "lift" his C5 to the max to drive it there. It would be great to see other members that are located outside the USA chime in and say hello with a pic of their ride.

That's odd. All the pics I've seen of Russian city streets look pretty smooth. Not sure I want to see a picture of his 'raised' ride!

At least he is driving a Vette and not a Hugo!

It'd also be nice if you put a marker on the C5 Members Map: https://www.zeemaps.com/c5_owners

Just PLEASE use your forum id/handle as the marker name. Markers that have names that don't correlate to a forum name/id are deleted, as are multiple markers.

Having lived in France for a year, and traveled much of the world playing concerts, it's great to see more international forum members.

Euro-code side blinker. I've had to drill holes in a couple of vehicles heading that way.
