Default Another new C5 owner!

Hello just wanted to say hi to the forum members. A little information about my new to me C5. 1999 Blue manual with 58000 miles on her. Just needed the A/C repaired and passenger window motor. Also updated the head unit used install kit from vettenuts still needs some better speakers. Anyway been lurking for awhile before deciding to join and looking forward to more upgrades.
