I traded in my 94 for a 2002 yesterday. Black/Tan Coupe, 6-Spd. Wow, what a difference. No pics yet, but I'll have some soon. I guess I should change my user name now.

Welcome to C5 General. Always loved C4's myself, but when I bought mine a year ago - clean 96 C4's were going for almost as much as a C5. Guess that's why the C5 will remain one of the best performance/sportscar bargains of all time!
Miles and miles of smiles to you!

Right there with you. Congrats! I just moved over to the C5 section this July when I traded my 93 for an 01 Z06. I used to be Whitvette in the C4 section.
