Default Just another new Vette owner.....

Just picked it up a few days ago. It's an 02 "plain vanilla” M6. Has less than 18K on the clock. Just wanted to say thanks to all in this forum for the information that helped me with my search for this car. Let the games begin....

That happens to be the best year. Unfortunately not the fastest color. J/K...... I love mine, absolutely the best, smoothest, fastest car I have ever owned. You will enjoy owning and driving it.
