Hello from Midwest
Hello...
I picked up a Admiral Blue 2016 LT2 a couple weeks back and have been lurking here for a bit reading up.
About ten years ago I had a C3; 79 yellow L82. It was an unruly beast and quite different! Fun car in its own right.
Looking forward to catching up about the modern era of this great car.

I did! And I basically sold it to buy a rental property; right before the great real estate crash! Guess I learned my lesson!

Oh so fine! We just got our used but very nice 2007 C-6. I can't believe the difference between our old C-3's and this car. I'll bet your C-7 is even finer. Good Luck, and Congrats.
