Very nice, congratulations on the buy. I like the red on red better than the red/black interior combo. Plus, lower production numbers on the red/red I recall, so a little extra special.

Good luck and have fun driving with the top down, I love my '04 CE M6 vert!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've enjoyed my 2K Vert for 17 years and there is nothing like it with the top down right now or spring time. But you gotta really hit it for that big smiley face :-)

Thanks again everyone, all great looking cars in those pics. I'm loving the car still, and finding every chance I get to take a ride. My wife and I even took it on a little overnight trip to our lake condo, so much more fun than the SUV on the twisty two-lane roads. I'm kind of sad it is getting to the end of the nice weather around here, I guess I'll have the spring to look forward to though.

Yes I know, I need to tape, mud and paint the drywall in my garage. I hung it about two years ago, and just never went back to it, mostly because I hate that part of the job. It's on my "one-of-these-days" list along with coating the floor and building some cabinets. I'm not doing the Corvette justice with my cluttered up mess of a garage!

Lunch stop on the way back from the lake:


And yes, I'm not overly thrilled with the look of the bra, but it fits pretty nice, and did provide good protection. Luckily I had it on this trip because one of the roads going down was being repaved, and there was a lot of stuff being thrown up.(I also tried to stay far away from other cars) I'll probably mostly put it on when I know I'll be droning down the highway.

--Mike
