My New to Me C5: Was It's official
Here's my '97 after a good washing due to driving 700 miles back in the rain. Shines up good. Couldn't be happier with it so far. That's Lake Norfork (Arkansas) in the background.

Looking good. I bet that was a nice drive.
I'm itching to go on a long drive in mine again soon...

VERY NICE! Congrats! You'll find the C5 definitely has more zip than a DeLorean 
. Although it can't time travel 
. I'm really glad you were able to find such a nice car. I hope it brings you many miles of smiles.
Don't forget to SAVE THE WAVE!

Welcome and nice C5. Red is the second best color 
but I've heard red is the fastest C5 color. 
Enjoy!

I'm enjoying it a lot but I think my wife is liking it even more than I am. She's never been in a car like that before, all she can do is laugh if you get into the gas at all. Take care and thanks again.
