That's because they know better, not because the C5 has lost its appeal.

Yeah, get some mail order parts, tacky stripes and a noisy muffler that yells and barks:

After pricing the one I'd want I've come to the conclusion that both of my daughters will have to pay for their own college educations.

Priortities, priorities.

Well, you may be able to have all three - assuming they're still in strollers now.

Loud exhaust will get you attention. If your car sounds fast, most people will think its fast.

One of them is ready to start college right now. The other is only 8 years away from it. The oldest had better start applying for scholarships. The youngest had better start saving her allowance.

That must be the case as that's always the first thing people seem to do. If the car is going to be modded and tracked it's understandable but for a street car it just is a throatier version of a fart can mod.

This "relic" seems to do well.

Lots of attention on the road and at the lights.....at idle or WOT!!
