Default Great CAR
How can a object over 12 years old still captivate people the way the C5 does? I have my car for over 5 years and just turned 100,000 miles. Drive it most every day, not in snow, not worth it,

I actually looked you up yesterday because I had not seen any posts in a while. I think it showed 1-31-2016 as your last posting date, so it had been a couple of weeks. I was hoping to get an update on what you are doing to the car now. Figured it was about time to go bigger and better in the drivetrain department by now. You guys with cams and blowers need to do regular videos so those of us less fortunate can get a taste once in a while

Hey Rick! Looking great! I think you've done some more stuff since I was here last. Looking at a few cars, hoping to return to C5 ownership soon.
How's that checkered flag graphic on the interior holding up?

It's been replaced by that leather covered dash, so it's been toned down a bit.
