Default Hello and Thanks!

Bringing this car back to life would not have been possible without you -- huge thanks!

PS Pic from the day I got it (dark bowling green with fancy custom pinstripe) home from salvage auction:

Got the car on the road and I LOVE it! I've owned quite a few Japanese and German performance cars, but the C5 takes the cake. It's a real experience.

Here's a more recent pic:
