I'm back!
After a few years away, I'm finally back on the forum. I've had some health issues and a lot going on in life, but I should be able to be on the forum regularly again. There haven't been any big changes to the car since I was on the forum last. It's GREAT to be back! I look forward to seeing all my old friends on C5 forum again.

Glad you're back, Monte. When I sent you a PM a couple years back, and never got a response, I have to admit I feared it was health, and started fearing the worst. Glad you're OK. I'll be 72 years old in a month. Man....IIRC, I wasn't supposed to get old
