After my father bought himself an early birthday present, a pristine black on black '02 convertible, he gave me an early birthday present, his '04 Commemorative convertible. It needed some work, he isn't the best with maintaining a car, Fortunately, most of the things it needed haven't been too bad to fix except for a leaking blend actuator under the dash that was causing a CEL, taking that all apart was fun..., and changing what were probably the original plugs and wires. And yes, #7 made me bleed... LOL.

The very first pre attack indicator to me is that he has the passenger side window cracked while the drivers side window is closed. For me, 99% of drivers I pull over automatically roll down their drivers window. Not this guy. From the very start, HE is calling the shots and forcing the Officer to approach him from the passenger window. Things go even further south from there.
On my traffic stops, it is normal for law abiding citizens to be nervous. However, wanted people (with arrest warrants) are even more nervous. Cues include lighting a cigarette, fidgeting, being twitchy. This guy was giving off a general feeling of nervousness that was not natural for someone who was law abiding. Lots of red flags.
Welcome! Your dad is one heck of a guy giving you his "old" C5!!! Its so very nice to see that his car is being kept in the family. This is a gift to cherish! Would love to see more pics of the car!

Yes he is! Best birthday gift I have ever been given!! There was a catch to it though, It had some problems, mainly P0171 and 0174 codes that kept showing up that he was afraid it was going to be costly to fix. Thanks to what I have learned lurking around here, a $20 set of intake gaskets and about 2 hours worth of pulling the intake off and replacing them, and of course the blend actuator under the dash that I replaced, no more codes!
Here's some pics after giving her a wash and wax yesterday..
