It's hard to see, but that's a Maserati Ghibli parked behind us. It's a very exclusive part of the parking lot. LOL!

I enjoy that shot.

Because the C5 design is not at a style disadvantage against the later design, pretty remarkable since style is such an important sales driver. And , to my eye, is a little cleaner with less angles and no headlights.

The newer design wins points for being smaller, I like a small sports car, but since I have a 12 CD player in the trunk and power steering, that's not really a realistic concern for a yank tank road car .

I guess I could write a poem, but you get the idea.

Exclusive?!? It looks like they let someone with a 4-door Honda park behind you.
