Default My first drive!!!!

Had my Black C6 MN6 Z51 delivered on Jan. 2. Since that time it has been sitting under a car cover. As we had a 55 degree day today (Wisconsin), and, since I have never even backed it out of the driveway, I decided to call my insurance agent and place full coverage on it for one day. Prior to today, my only experience driving a C6 has been a 2 block, late December, snowy weather ride at the dealership. After my ride today, all I can say is WOW!!!!!! It will be soooooo hard waiting for spring.

why would you only have full coverage for one day? insurance is cheap, what if an uninsured motorist plows into it in your driveway?
