Default Goodbye C5

Well, it's time for me to say goodbye to the C5 section. I will be selling my first vette, a 2000 coupe later today. A young man will be getting his first Vette, and I will be moving to my second, a 2010 coupe. I only had the C5 for a few months, but the bug bit me hard, and I currently have the means to upgrade, so I'm going to take it. I do appreciate all the info I've gathered from the C5 section, and you guys have been great in answering questions, and providing valuable advice.

Totally understand. Had my C4 for 3 months, my C5 for 9 months and now my C6 is on 1 year and 4 months. I'm pretty sure she is my keeper. Really wish I could have kept them all......
