Default The end of an era for me....
Today I sold O YEA, my 97 coupe that I've had for 9+ yrs. It was a very weird feeling hearing/seeing her driven away by the new owner.

I have had many, many miles of smiles out of her, and as alot of you know, more than one of those miles was 1/4 mile at a time!

Some shots before the new owner left with her...







And Daryl, the proud new owner! He said he would check in here, so yall give him a big welcome!!! (I'll forward the link to him so he'll be sure to join CF. )

Did you tell Daryl about CFOT and that he needs to post pics of his S/O?

Sad and happy at the same time, Liz. One owner says goodbye and another, hello!

Best of luck to Daryl and his new C5. You keep enjoying your C6.

Daryl looks like a very happy guy - and he should seeing how he got a very nice car. It's tough to let a great car go, but now you can make new memories with a different one.
