Default I'm returning to the club (hopefully)

Years ago I bought a pewter 2001 ws6 new off the lot, had some problems a few years later and ditched it in 2003 almost 2 years to the day after I bought it. Regret for the next 11 years. On the bright side I see I now have a 10year member tag added in my absence.

Honestly I've been searching for a C5 for about a month but can't shake that F-Body love feeling I have. I'm going to test drive what looks like a beautiful 02WS6 in about an hour. Hope to be part of the club again by sundown if the car is everything I expect it to be.

If you could get it for 12,500, I'd take it. Use the automatic against them in your bargaining!

Nice looking ride! I'll expect to see more of you & your car around here.

Nice low miles + appearing to be in good condition =
You should have years and years of driving ahead of you without any major headaches. Enjoy it!

It did have one fault.. a blown left speaker. Already ordered a new set and a new headunit with bluetooth. I cannot live without BT. I'll sacrifice the steering wheel controls for it.

On a side note, does anyone know if we can change the post time? All my time is GMT 5hours ahead of real time. I looked all over but cant even find a place to ask this question.

Minor stuff. We all can live with the minor stuff, even the headlight gears and window motors. Keeping my fingers crossed but I have had no issues with mine yet and I'm at the same mileage as you.

You might be able to get a special control harness that will allow you to retain the controls if you really wanted to keep them.

If you go to User CP on the above red menu bar it will give you your control panel page. On the left you will see Settings and Options. Select Edit Options and then scroll the page down to Date and Time Options. There you can adjust the time zone.

I think this is what you were referring to. Hope this helps!
