A car is a car - A C5 is a car
The realization that a C5 is a car to be used has been with me for some time, and I send thanks to the forum guys who repeatedly comment that these cars won't melt in the rain, and that their sole purpose is to used, driven, and enjoyed.
My son recently got his driver's license, and today I gave him his first stick shift lesson. No matter how much time passes, and no matter how many more sticks he will drive in his lifetime, my 50th AE will always be his first.

A car is a car - A C5 is a car.
Yep, can't dispute that. I even checked Wikipedia.
Edit: It is also an automatic transmission, an American 5-cylinder radial engine, a utility aircraft, a rocket, etc., etc.

A C5 is a darn fine car!!
My eldest son(29) has driven mine and my youngest(25) chosen not too.
I still see the big smile come across Adam's face when he started the car and we drove off! His smile was there the whole drive!
Oh yea, mine is driven in the rain, hasn't shrunk yet!
