Beware jealous C5s
Just a warning, if you go to look at the C6, don't tell your C5, especially if you plan on buying a C6. After seeing the C6 today, my 97 decided to throw its belt. Now given that the belt appears to be in perfect condition, the car must have done it intentionally.
Just a warning.

Re: Beware jealous C5s (Jay_Davis)
ITS TRUE!!I came back from the NY show on Friday to find that for the first time in over five years my C5 had apparently suffered an electrical "problem." The passenger side power window is now inoperative. I thought I was crazy but now

Even worse. You leave the C% on the used car lot only to find out later that it tracked you down and you find it running into the C6 that is sitting outside of the house.

better disconnect the battery and lock the garage. It'll try to run itself into a tree and then back itself into your truck 
I have been very faithful to my C5, even in my mind - so she's not jealous

Yeah, mine turns it's nose up at my Camaros all the time. So far, I haven't told the C5 I'm filing for divorce in a year.
