Ciao, ciao for now!! And Thank You!!!
Wow, where did 5 years go??? I was the kid at Christmas with my first Corvette. Today it went away and another has filled that spot in the garage.
I've met some great people, still miss Mr. Bill, and appreciate every ounce of knowledge that has been shared that I tried to absorb like a sponge!!
5 years, heck my last two cars I had 16 years each!! What changed?? I had a little scare with prostate cancer over the winter, all is fine now. But it was a game changer for me. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and I've never owned a convertible before!!
2006, 2 owners, talked with both and it was their baby!! A few mods and 29k on the clock. Looking forward to hit the Museum and Tail of the Dragon in a few weeks.
Thanks again to all those who take their time to help the same questions over and over and share their insight. I truly appreciated it.
Moving up the dial a bit, but I'll still be popping in to see my favorite car with pop up headlights!!

Congrats Neighbor
I'll keep an eye out for you in your beautiful blue C6 and you do the same for me (look for a silver C5 convertible; residing in Carol Stream). Hopefully this storm moves through quickly so we can get our tops down. We drove down to the Corvette museum last month.

Congrats Jeff! Glad to hear your health in on the upswing and hopefully stays that way. The blue is gorgeous. Should be a great trip to the museum and tail of the dragon.

Congratulations Jeff 
Beautiful car. You deserve it. They are great drivers and alot of bang for the buck. You will enjoy the Museum. The Tail of the Dragon is a blast as well. I do it once a year. The Cherohala Skyway is even more enjoyable, Right in the same area.
Enjoy the new ride.

When's the Corsa Extreme going on?
Nice upgrade! It's crossed my mind too as I've seen a few C6's that had a very appealing price.... but I'll sit on my C5 for a little longer.
Sooooo, any C5 parts kicking around?
Enjoy the C6 and drive the wheels off of it.

Nice ride Jeff, congrats. Enjoy the upcoming road trip.
I need to get back to the museum myself. I'm only an hour and a half away from it.
Im just looking forward to being able to walk again for now though.
I got the brake lines and speed bleeders last Saturday.
Thank you for a smooth transaction and a fair deal.
Best wishes always.

Thanks for all the kind words they are very much appreciated!!!
Funny, the buyer wanted all the OE stuff back on the car. Took a few weeks, but I made it happen. I about cried when the Redline flat bottom came off and definitely teared up when I heard the stock exhaust after the Corsa came off!!
I can't believe that I sold everything!
As Arnold said, I'll be back!

In any case, congrats on the new vert! Love the color. See you on the C6 forum.
