Picked It Up: 2004-12-17, Put It Away: 2 Days Later

I ordered mine in September, they promised before Thanksgiving, didn't happen. They promised before Christmas...just got a call today, my Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic C6 Z51 6-Speed has been created! 1-2 weeks will find me in the driver's seat.
Ok now, I have to calm myself down. I can handle this. I'm giving up my 2000 Magnetic Red Metallic Z51 6-Speed, including my beautiful HRE wheels, but it's time.
I'll let you know how it goes. Course, winter in the Northeast will put a major damper on this situation. But just 1 ride (maybe 2) before I put 'er away 'till Spring.
By the way, pretty clever of those marketing types to put "Daytona" into the color name, isn't it?

Today I cleaned out my C5, ready for giving away. It will be a sad day to see my beauty go. 12 CD's ejected from the player in the back, minor items stored in the compartments removed, vacuumed one last time so I can see it at it's best on the last day (was already sparkling under protective cover). Title and C6 contract sitting on the kitchen counter, ready...

3pm is C6 pickup time today. I admired my C5 2K Coupe and it's beautiful HRE 540 wheels as I left it in the parking lot this morning at work. Last looks before trade-in this afternoon. Bank check is cut, title & reg for transfer all ready. 3 hours and 20 minutes to go...

So I picked up my new C5 2 days ago but sadly put it away for the winter today (snow coming tonight). Simply put, this car is truly awesome.
