Back in a C5

Well I'm back in a C5. Traded my 94 Polo Green 6spd convertible today for a 2004 Commemorative Edition convertible. I was starting to have to get help getting out of the C4, and I'm really glad to have a trunk again. Still got the 65, though.

Beautiful car!

The AE and CE are probably my two favorite C5's. Vert to boot! Very nice!

Congrats on your new C5! I also went from a '96 to my '99 FRC & really like the ease of getting in & out of the C5. I once had '65 vert but alas I sold it my bad. Good luck w/your new ride!
