I see alot of posts and usernames declaring they have gone from some other car to the C6. What did you drive before the C6?

350z
This 350Z was my first sports car since 1969, ordered her with everything I wanted, waited 3 months and drove it a year. Zeta was a great car, I loved it, but it still needed fixing up (better radio, exhausts, wheels, so I traded her in for the LMB/cashmere Convertible w/Nav, 1SB, Z51, polished wheels & manual top (even though Z had auto top and I liked it).
Now I gotta go thru that trolling period again on a new forum for the next several months while I wait on my dream car. Been wanting a Corvette since I was a kid, finally at 55...a new toy.

I had to vote "other" as it didnt replace a car... decided to keep my other car (a 330i) as I need to be able to take kids to day care a few days a week. Its kinda weird switching between the two - such a different ride all together

Hey
Suppose we didn't replace a car but choose to add one to the collection? This is what I did so I voted other.

I let go of a bmw 330i. I miss a couple things about it. The engine sounded better than my C6's and the car felt so much more nimble, but I wouldn't go back. I love my C6!! I've never had so much fun driving!! I'll probably add a beemer to the garage later this year.
