Default Hey Posse......New Wheels!

After losing my sister last week, I realized I am not going to live forever. So it was time for an upgrade. ( and I don't mean Candy)

Sorry for your loss. Nice find though!

Bob, doesn't matter how good of a deal, I'm not parting wth my C3. If anything, I'd go to a C2.

It's a 99 with 21k. Newer c5 wheels, vararam , tinted windows, stock exhaust (that's gotta go)
Doesn't have the best car fax history in the world, but we got it to drive it. Even in the rain. And it's got 3 pedals

Jimmy - also sorry to hear about your sister.

Congrats on the new ride, looks like you've found a nice low mileage C5. I'm sure you're seeing a big difference with the C4.
