Back to the C5 Forum

After selling my C5 coupe several years ago I am rejoining the C5 section of the forum. I recently found a triple black 2001 convertible with less than 30,000 miles. It still smells new inside. She is one sweet ride! Hello all.

I concur. That is a cool looking combo.

I don't normally care for the color of the mag wheels but I've also never seen them on black before.
