The wife's new to us C6
After 3-1/2 years of C5 ownership the Vette thing has worn off on my wife (never thought that would happen!) and she asked me what I thought of selling her daily driver Jeep Wrangler and getting a AO C6 so she could have her own as the C5 just sees weekend duty and she has always been intimidated that she might hurt my (our) toy. So long story short my search began and we found this 43k mile example, we had set out at possibly getting a new Challenger or Camaro as her other daily driver is a 2007 Mustang GT 5-speed but to us getting a clean C6 with relatively low miles would be a better deal than taking the new car hit and have another muscle car next to the GT and 1/2 the price of a new Challenger/Camaro. Kind of funny as I remember 3 years ago when we went on a Vette run (our first) she remarked at one of the rest stops and pointed at a AO C6 "I could own that" now she does.

IMO Atomic Orange is the BEST color ever offered on a C6! (I looked for over a year to find an AO car with options I wanted and had to "settle" for a CRM. Good luck with your new ride!

Thanks for all the compliments, she is thrilled with it. She drove the mustang to work today since it's raining once again here in NorCal.
