Default Hell Yeah !

This Corvette stuff is unreal. I've been infatuated with vettes since the Sting Ray but the C6 is my first. I'll tell you, good things come to those who wait. I LOVE THIS CAR. The iceing on the cake is how much others like it too. I just got back from a 40 mile joy ride. A casual drive in the country listening to XM Soul Street. To take the edge off the week.
Of all things, I got the wave and from a brand spanking new 350z. Still had sticker on the back. I guess a mutual respect thing. Yesterday, I park the C6 all by her lonesome in the farthest part of the parking lot to avoid reckless doors. When I got back a couple hours later, there was a post it note on the side window that simply said "HELL YEAH !"
"Some might think it's just a car......... but that car makes me feel like I'm taking the prettiest girl to the dance.

I park way out in no man's land and as I'm walking to and from I see cars pull up and circle it just to get a better look.

Papa Bill, you express my sentiments exactly. One week and 165 miles into ownership and I'm still grinning ear-to-ear!

Default It does get alot of attention!!!

We took our C6 to the Pavilions in Scottsdale last saturday night. This is a car go and show with a different category for just about every car out there. They have a row for Corvette's only. It was the only C6 there and it got tons of attention. Isn't it great.
