Default Requesting some help...

Hey guys,

As many of you know I am looking to buy a c6 in the very near future. As the final decisions are being made with what options I want to what I can install aftermarket, I need to make my final decision of which color to choose.

I like Atomic orange, but I have only seen one in pictures; some I like and some I don't. I would like to look one over in person and even in some sun light. Is there anyone who owns a c6 atomic orange in the Baltimore area who would be willing to show it off?

I am also looking at the JSB, but I haven't seen any photos that I thought the color changed, but I like to do a walk around a blue one as well.

I know, tall order. Please let me know.

Thank you.

Many haven't come out of hibernation yet esp. w. a slight snowfall yesterday. I'd ask the known Corvette dealers that may have trades sitting around. Or clubs that may have meetings w. cars coming out early.

And just a reminder, Jetstream Blue only made in model years 2008 - 2011. Atomic Orange only made in model years 2007 - 2009.

I have contacted dealers to see what they have to purchase. They have next to nothing now. Let alone AO.

I know you didn't ask for pics, but here's one that might help sway you.
Love your yellow C3!

You see, I think the pictures make the car look great. I think I saw one pass me on the street the other day and I wasn't impressed like I am with the photos. I need to see one in person that is more than a drive by.

No one owns either in my area? We don't have to go for a drive, I just want to see one in person.

Here was a local ad for a 2008 JSB... priced a little high.

The years that color was available is older than I want my car to be. So I passed. I do like it from pictures.
