Hey Ron, welcome from a fellow Independence dweller. Just got mine last fall, and though I enjoy it greatly, it's pretty much a garage queen. As my username says, I'm an even older timer than you. Maybe we can hook up sometime.

Congrats, Ron - your car is a twin to mine, except for the mileage - I am at 48K and counting. You will love silver - very easy to maintain.

We are picking up a silver C6 next week to keep her company.

Might have to try the cigar shop run....
