Just bought my first vette, a 2005 machine silver metallic C6 vert. I'm not up on all the lingo quite yet so I don't know what package it has, but AFAIK it has all add-ons (nav, onstar, bose, sattelite radio, HUD, traction, heated seats, auto-dimming mirrors, etc..)
I've had a few new cars in the past, but nothing so state-of-the-art as far as software driven amenities, so when I first noticed this message when I fired it up, I was bit taken... "Hello Bad Driver"
What? Was this in response to how I was actually driving? Is this car judging me? Chevy really has a lot of nerve!
This went on for a few days until I had time to really dig deep into the owner's manual, and find the section about DIC personal settings. I discovered I was using FOB 2 which was probably meant for the former owner's wife, and hence the (I can only assume) marital humor.
Better pics to come later.

Thanks
1st owner purchased it in late Dec '05 so I still have a year and a half factory warranty. Only 1800 miles on it, hardly driven. Clean slate by dealer.
This should suit me nicely 'til 2012.
