Default A bitter sweet Good Bye

But Im not going far!

I have been a member of the Forum for a long time and all you C5 guys have really helped me in repairs and upgrades! I want to say a big Thank you!

I purchased my 2003 in 2006 with 3,400 miles.... i rolled 105K this month and decided to trade it in.... If it all goes through I will be picking up a 2012 Grand Sport Friday. They are shipping it up from Houston TX for me to inspect.





So as I say I won't be going far... just to the C6 pages....

Thanks again to all the members!!

I just purchased my C5 from that dealer, and saw that exact Grand Sport there. It looked beautiful, you won't be disappointed!
