Currently, my wife and I are a motorcycle-only family but, I've wanted a 'Vette for as long as I can remember. Now, I'm in a position to finally get one.

Test drove a 1991 convertible today but, I like the styling of the 2002 that the dealer had on the lot.

I don't know a lot about Vettes, and hope to learn before purchasing.

What I will freely share is that I like what I like, which is why I ride the motorcycle that I do. And again, I really, really love the way the '02 looks.

That aside, I've read several posts here over the past few weeks and I have to say, that when it came to joining a forum, THIS was the one that I wanted to join!

Thank you for the welcome. I have a 2006 C6 and love the car but am having some difficulties. I've recently gotten the "service charging system" warning light, which has been followed by pretty much all of the warning lights going off - anti-lock brakes, traction control, active handling. Then it simply says, "service vehicle soon." I'm thinking battery cable; I've had to replace the battery twice in the past two years. Am I right and is the battery cable replacement going to cost me much more than the $80-$100 it costs for the cable itself?
