Default Sold My Beloved C5

Well, after owning it for 5.5 years and putting countless hours and dollars into it, I was ready for a change.

I posted it here in the for sale sections. CF member Bobwhite85 bought it. He flew in on Wednesday to pick it up. He drove it home. We've been exchanging text messages and emails and I think he's pretty happy with it. I'm happy that someone like him who appreciates it has it.

Good folks of the C5 community, please welcome Robert, "Bobwhite85"

Here are a couple of pics of Robert's "new" C5.





I picked up this 2008 Z06. It is loaded with the 3LZ package, new Michelins and only 20K miles.
I called it my "Longhorn Edition" Z06.

Nice new ride Larry

Now I have to find me a different color Z06, I don't think I should get the same color as you.

Congrats on the new Z06! Your MSG Coupe was an inspiration in many of the mods I added to my MSG vert.

Don't be a stranger!

I'm digging it so far. I know I'll miss the C5 though. Too bad I couldn't keep it and get the Z.

Condolences and congratulations. May I be so bold to suggest that your first mod be a new avatar. But don't disappoint...I really liked your old one.

Thanks Steve. We went for a cruise today and it rained. Last time it rained here was in the spring. I took a day off to play golf that day.

To resolve this drought, I need to play more golf and get more "new" cars.

Yeah, mine too. My wife was in the Longhorn band so she approved of this car immediately.

Hey Larry, Congrats on the new Z, I love the AO color, I saw one in the right sunlight and it was amazing, Not so sure about the white seats and console though.
Again, Fantastic find...

LOL, You know if he was around he would be driving one for sure and he would keep it parked at Joe's Garage.
