Default Hello from Orlando

Hi guys, I'm not a C5 owner yet but I'm in the process of doing the research on getting one. Well during my search I ran across this site and have been lurking for a couple of days and decided to join just because it seems like a great site with a lot of good guys and great info. I am defintely looking at getting a C5 in the near future but would like to gather info and make the right decision before just diving in. I look forward to reading more of your post and learning as I go.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and yes, I'm now leaning towards a Vert:-) A Silver one. But until I'm dead sure I'll keep catching up on things in here. Great Bugsy, maybe when I get it I'll swing out your way, Clermont has some nice roads for driving.
