ernestD thanks for the reply. Looks like I should be good to go.

Will the exhaust system from a 1998 fit a 2004? Is there a difference between coupe and convertible? thanks for any guideance. :)

Napa, Thanks for the info and advice. It turns out we have a Valentine, so I will keep it turned on at least approaching any city limits. And the Mountain passes. I guess they don't help much for animals, which I hadn't thought about. That would definitely ruin my day. And the warning...

This is a test to see if I can upload photos. In case you recognize this photo, it was on eBay, where I bought the car. It was located in Long Beach and has been waiting for me in Marina Del Rey since January. It has been resting up for it's big trip to Nebraska, where it will meet it's older...

I can't think of a better use of time than to visit a son and then cruise highway 1. The only thing that might improve it would be if you could catch the Pebble Beach auto show, but I think that's in August. As for weather, I'm from Nebraska, much like Illinois, so California must surely be...

That sounds pretty tempting. However, it will probably be mid-morning when we come through. Maybe a little early for a cold bud-light. We're planning to take 50 all the way across NV, maybe Ely or even Delta or Fillmore, UT if we can make it. What is a reasonable speed on highway 50 between...

I guess if you can do it with a motorhome, I should be able to stay on the road with a C5. I've read that the southbound trip can be a little more harrowing... being in the outer lane. Right now I'm like a little kid trying to wait until Christmas. Not sure it will ever get here. Be sure...

Thanks to all for the replys. We're allocating about a day and a half for the trip from LA to San Francisco, so depending on how many coffee and ice cream stops we need, we should have adequate time. This will likely be our one chance in life to drive the historic highway, so we're going for...

We're planning to drive the C4 From L.A. to San Francisco next month. Have it in my head to drive CA highway # 1 the whole way. Is that a good idea? Is it a smooth road surface or would it be better to take #101? We've been as far as the Hearst museum before. Planning to do the '17 mile drive'...

Thanks for the info. I will give that a try if bugman's opening procedure doesn't do the trick. The car is currently in California, and I'm in Omaha (watching it snow) so I can't go check it out immediately. Planning to drive the car home in May when the weather is better. It's kind of like...

to Bugman and Pinky.... Thanks a bunch for the feedback. Exactly what I wanted to know. Guess I'd better mount some little wheels on the front air foil and buy a leather trunk opener for road trips. Not sure I ever would have figured out the console lid secret. I've put about 10 miles on...

I recently purchased a 2004 convertible from private party, and found that the center console lid will only open part way. I can't tell what the obstruction is. Has anyone else had this problem? (btw, car has 6200 miles) Related problem, when popping the trunk, the lid only raises about one...
