Congrats on the C5, they are great cars! Welcome aboard from a native Kansan! I haven't lived there since the military moved me away in 1998. I grew up in a tiny town called Burden, about 40 miles southeast of Derby, and graduated from K-State in 1993. There are lots of very knowledgeable and friendly folks on these forums, and an almost seemingly endless amount of information. The search feature is invaluable. Again, welcome!
