One thing I noticed that is common between most of these C5s is the wide body fenders in the rear.
I want some but don't want to pay for them, the install charges, the paint to cover them, the cost of the painter, the new rims to fit the new rear width fenders, the front rims to match the new rear rims, and tires for all four corners.

What? if you really want something bad enough you can find a way to get it...I over pay for everything I really want bad...life is too short...put it on a charge card and make payments...just do it and you will see how happy it makes you...just a thought...

Yeah, but I figure it'd be 10 grand total, CCW wheels alone are $$$$$.
Currently looking at new houses, priorities. I just sold my 98 for extra money for house. Miss that car.

No,
Health insurance, retire, hopefully they both are both at the same time, have more than you need. You and your old wife are set for well beyond the time to snuff it. That is based upon the worth of 1 $ in today’s value

Don’t see it very much;
The old couple walking down the side walk hand in hand. Not working at McDonalds at the age of 75 because you need health insurance. Nuff said…………

Next case

I'm pretty happy with mine. Original owner, personalized (modded) to my preference. Still turning heads 13 years later...

I can't try to claim to have the nicest car since I sold her a little over a year ago. :-( There a lot of nice cars in this thread and looking at them makes me miss mine!
