My wife would NEVER have a coupe again. She has driven drop tops for our entire 44yr marriage starting with a 69 Camaro Pace Car. We had one 96 C4 coupe and she struggled with getting the top off and then the wind buffet inside was obnoxious. Got rid of that one real quick for this C5. She loved that C5, but likes her new C7 vert better.

Yes. I can't go over 45 without my head getting ripped off on my coupe. It just isn't practical.

Congratulations on 44 years of marriage. But, I have a question. Did you marry that girl when she was 5? She surely doesn't look that old.

Ha, well she could not drink legally on our wedding day, so she was kinda young. And the pic of the C5 is about 10yr ago. C7 was 6mo ago

Love the exhaust! The rest isn't exactly my speed but take enough gruff from some for "wasting" money on a Z06 with the double-curse of being an A8 and convertible!

Drive what you like and looks like a different, head-turning, very fun ride!
