greg..yes I've done the mini van thing too..you do what you gotta do
I've got to agree with cordell..a c5 can be had for a song and are a ton of fun.
I bought my father in laws c5 a few years ago and it really wasn't loved for a long time
I put a few grand into it and it was a blast..always got compliments and it could out handle and run a lot of cars...
