Hello from Kansas-
New to the board, just finished up the first short road trip in the new 99 C5.
Retired school admin and former auto instructor for a lot of years, have had a lot of cool hot rods over the stretch. (Including a 65 Mustang, VIN K, kick myself for selling that one in the stupidity of youth...)
Had the chance to get a C3 back in the day, couldn't afford the insurance. Waited a year or two (or 40) to finally get what I want. Glad to be on the board and look forward to advice, opinions and pictures!
Mike
