Ok the 14th I picked it up from member Peccles and I must say WOW!
This is the most mint used car I have just about seen, or at least a vette especially with 39k on it. NOt a single scratch or even rock chips on it. Interior looks like it is fresh from the show room. I do not even think it has ever been in the rain. The car was spotless yet not detailed so it was great to see it in its naturaly perfect clean shape

Cruised from LAX to Portland home did not miss a beat the corsa exhaust is sooo quiet and no horrible road noises with those New pilots.
And 26.5 miles to the gallon doing 75mph to boot!

This is my 3rd C5 and I am truely impressed on his care of the car.

2000 FRC 6sp Blue

Thanks Paul
