Hi My name is Andy,
I live in the Chicago Burbs. I used to drive my uncles c5 20 years ago and enjoyed it. Then I got a 996 Gt3 in 2013. But I didn’t drive it enough so I sold it in 2015 so I could buy a house for my new family. I have a great wife and 2 kids now and hopefully I can justify buying a C8 eventually. My uncle bought a C8 in September and after enjoying it for a few miles decided to sell it. I am helping him so I joined the forums so I could post it. He has a house in Chicago and AZ. Since the car was sitting because of winter he shipped it to AZ and is driving it there. Hopefully if it doesn’t sell I’ll be able to go and drive it in the desert with my wife in April. We’ll see! Lol
