Default Moving on.

Well after 17 years with my 97 I decisde to let her go and move on. I found a white C6 2006 and I hope I can enjoy it as much as I did the C5. Sometimes its hard to put as much time into something to drive away and leave it behind. I now have to start all over fixing it up my way. I know the first thing to to change the sound. After Borla's the stock is way too quiet. I will not be far away from the C5 guys for sure. Just wanted to let everyone here know how great and helpful you have been though out the years. Thanks Here are pics of the new and one of the old. Sorry for the size.

It must be tough to part with the C5 after all that time. Have fun with the '06 and making it your own.
