Default Finally Got One!!!!!

At long last. I have always had a sweet spot for C5 so the wife said "if you ever get one it has to be a red convertible". So I did.

99 Torch Red over Light Oak. 44k miles. Took a big risk an bought it on eBay - drove it home from Dallas to Charlotte in the snow.

Now just working out the bugs. Need to solve the vacuum line/AC issue. Waiting for hockey pucks to come so I can get the wheel off.

Looking forward to all the help
