We are celebrating (9-28)the first anniversary with our 06 MR/Cash/Blk C6. And a wonderful year it has been. Oil change, one check engine light fixed by reseating the gas cap, one low tire light, and 7500 great smiles. And Pipedreams mud flaps. I suspect there are some prophylactic items we should check. Maybe the alignment, brakes, etc. But truth is, I'm thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it. Hate to take it to the dealer to simply check things out and end up worse off than when we arrived. The horror of seeing the car disappear into the service department abyss is real and scary. Any thoughts?

One year anniversary coming up for my 05 Vert, picked up at Kerbecks on 9-27-05. Had the same two problems, both self inflicted, loose gas cap, and low air pressure. I'm with you on the if it ain't broke thing..leave well enough alone.

Don't take it to a dealer unless you have to.

Congrats to you. My 06's museum delivery was also the 28th. It's taken 1 trip back from BG, 1 to Phoenix and 1 to Detroit without any problems in 14k miles. C6s are terrific!
