Default Goodbye sort of

Well folks it's been a fun ride but it was finally time to move on from my 2004 vert to a 2016 C7.
I definitely learned a lot here and will continue to read and hopefully help others when I can with their C5's.
I have a lot of reading now to do in the C7 section to get myself better educated in them also.
Great group here and save the wave all.

What did you get for the C5? I know that's impolite but we're family. 🙄

Congrats on your C7 - good looking ride and I think you will find a huge difference between the old and new cars. I know I did.

Have fun and tell your new friends about the wave so I stop sending the salute when ignored!

C7s seem like good driving. Let us know the compare / contrast angle on it.
