Default Four Years Ago Today
I had a 96 C4 for 4.5 years and was fairly active in the C4 sections of the forum. My forum id back then was Longhorn_C4. I had been quietly working a deal to trade my C4 for a used 2003 C5 that had been a trade-in at a Dodge dealership in Dallas. I went up on April 1, 2006 and left this.





I returned home with my C5. I posted pictures in the C4 and C5 section. A lot of folks in C4 gen thought it was an April fools joke and would not believe it.







I tried to change my forum ID to something similar but nothing I wanted was available. I went with Cozmo as it is not car specific. You never know, I may change to a C6 or C7 someday.

Thanks Glen. I enjoyed both cars. I wish I could have kept the C4 but only had room for one.

Nice C4, like the color. Really like the C5. That second picture of the C5 is great.

I am not a C4 hater by any means (had 2 myself), but that C5 you have is just 'right'- the stance, the wheels, the color, fricken' gorgeous

Happy Anniversary - both beauties (but I'm slightly biased for the MSG C5)!
