Default Its Here !!!!

We'll I went to pick up my new 07 convertible on Friday.
Had a nice 100 mile drive home with it. Wow, what a ride.
Can't believe the difference from my 04. Better ride, more
power and just a more refined automobile. I am trying to
post a pic of her, but not positive its gonna work. We all
no what they look like but this ones mine!



ps
Still cant wipe the smile off my face.

Yes, the C6 is definitely a much better car than the C5.

Great color choice!

Two suggestions, you need to reduce the size of your photo and you need to set the correct date on your camera (or remove the date stamping completely).
