Got a C6 for a few days!
My friend has had some bed luck with economy, he lost his job and had to move back to PR. So he left is C6 with me until the bank picks it up on Monday. It sucks for him
but he said until the bank comes to get it, drive it like a vette should be driven!

I agree... Which is the main reason I waited to get into my first Vette until I could find the right deal on the one I wanted without needing to take a note out to buy it.
Sorry to hear of your bud's misfortune...

I feel for him and enjoy the C6, I love mine, but then I also do love my C5, it is great having the best two generations of Vettes ever made

Yeah, you better make sure that C6 gets put to use. The bank won't appreciate it as much as you will. Just don't ball it up on a mountain road.

Good advice, those Florida mountains are quite treacherous.

Got to be heartbreaking for him. Hope his financial status turns around and he can get back into a Corvette soon.
Got a C6 for a few days!
but he said until the bank comes to get it, drive it like a vette should be driven!
