C5's are Corvette-shaped soap bars. Bleh.  

I had a strong desire for one of these for quite some time. Stylin’ for sure but the interior is a bit brutal. If the interior... or more specifically, exiting the interior, isn’t an issue, just be sure to get one old enough to have the proper round tails.
