Default Meet my new (to me) C5 that I took for a drive!

Hi All,

Back in October at the age of 24, I bought this beauty but didn't have time to properly welcome her to the forum due to the Michigan Winter.. 1998 Sebring Silver 6spd Coupe with 26K miles. Temps got up into the mid 60's today so I had to bring her out for some fun on my lunch hour. Please excuse her dirtiness as she is awaiting her Spring bath.

Thank you. They have kind of grown on me as I've look at her in the garage all winter... must be that they match the car color..

Looks really nice. You are gonna love it. Accounting for your young age..............be careful. Even though by today's standards these cars don;t have a lot of power............they do have enough to bite you in the ***...........real quick. Be careful.

And let me be the first to give you the link to your first mod:

Great looking 98 Your car looks identical to my silver 97. The wagon wheels look nice with silver. Enjoy it.
