My wife actually had her C3 first. I got my C5 in January so haven't had a chance to take a picture together.

Need a wife like me who can drive a 6 speed, motorcycle and quads!!! Wanted a vette so i bought one!!! Love it and love going fast!!! Did 110 2 nights ago on hwy weaving thru the "keepers of the speed"! Felt like I was doing 70!!! Wanted to go faster, but my daughter (22) was in the car too!! Having to teach her now how to drive a stick! Ahhhh!!! My poor vette!! I feel there's not enough kids out there today, let alone women, who even know how to drive a stick!!! Good thing to know in case of emergency with the driver!

Keepers.

I taught my wife to drive a stick in my GTI many years ago. She hated it. She'd only drive it on the highway where she could leave it in 5th for a few hours.

I kept her anyway.
