My Camaro when I started coming out to the west end night cruise back in '07. I miss doing those cruises.


Upgraded to my first C5 in the summer of 2007. Parked at The Docks for my first Yonge St cruise I organized.


I think everyone remembers my Durango.


And now I'm driving a C6.

Here is that same C5 nine years later the morning I drove it to trade in on my C6:



And here is my C6 a few weeks after I got it, after I gave it the first buffing job:

Pat - What was the mileage you got on your C5?
IIRC was pretty reliable too.

I bought it with just over 50,000km on it and it had 215,000 on it when I traded it! It was very reliable, I think I only spent about $2500 in repairs during those 9 years!

Hopefully my C6 proves to be as reliable, although I don't plan on keeping it for 9 years, I hope to be in a C7 within 2 or 3 years.
