New C5 driver in California
Good afternoon folks, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Scott, and I just bought a MY2000 C5 coupe two weeks ago. Picked the car up from an enthusiast that took darn good care of it. Only 40k miles on the odometer. It does have aftermarket wheels and a Flowmaster exhaust, and the rest is pretty original.
Looking forward to getting to know other owners. Once the autocross season starts up next month, I'll be bringing the car out there somewhat frequently. Also hoping to get onto some of the fantastic tracks that northern California has to offer. I've been out of sports cars for almost 6 years, so I'm excited to truly enjoy driving again.
