Default Farewell C5'ers. New C6 in the stable

Sorry guys:

Traded in my MY 2001 Vert in on a black 2005 coupe. love everything about this new car. little firmer ride and the seats arent as comfortable but overall i like it. I will never forget my first vette. the yellow car was a great car.

Went from this:

I DON'T BELIEVE IT..you gave away the best designed corvette ever made for what looks like just another car? there'll be no more complements from all age groups for you..anymore...

Default A mistake in Posting

I dont think it was a good idea to post a picture of your beautiful C5 vert with your new ride.. IM sorry to say it looks like a trade down from my point of view..the C5 just pops.... like someone else said the C6 looks very passive. Its a nice car, and congratulations but like I said you should not have posted your C5 with the new car.

Nice looking new ride enjoy it. It is always nice when you get a new car. For what it is worth, I think the C6 is a fine looking car.

Congrats! Only thing is you'll be cleaning that thing constantly. Nothing looks better than a black car all cleaned up, but keeping them that way is a pain in the a@%

I sold my 97 about 6 months ago. I love our 06, but I truly miss the C5!

Hope you enjoy the new ride!

No ****, I sold my black Z/28 a couple of years ago. I won't do black again.

But congratulations anyway- that's a good looking C6. I plan on making the C6 move one day but it can only be a Z06. Moving to the coupe seems too much like an intermediate move. Still cool car though.
