Default New C6

Hi Everyone;

Yesterday I bought 2006 C6 coup white with red interior. I am still in shock about it. I have always dream about owning a vet or jag XKE. But this vett has won my heart the power is awsome. I did not get all the feature but I did get the paddle shifter, targa. It is not the bottom line I would say it is in the middle. But I enjoy it either way. All I am doing now is waiting for someone to say this is a joke, dream or we made a mistake. But i am keeping my fingers cross that is is not. I am going to enjoy the ride while it last.
This how I feel about it
