Default Back In Black !!!

My long wait is over. Picked up a new Black 07 C6 last night (1LT/MN6). Here is a crapy camera phone shot from this morning...more later.

Let the mods begin !!!



All I can say is it is really good to be back in a 'Vette again.


Marvin

BTW...traded in my '05 350Z Roadster for it

Welcome back, and don't listen to all the about "don't buy a 07, get an 08 crap" I am sure the 08's are nice, but if you landed a good deal on the 07... ENJOY!

Congrats.

If you listen to the don't buy an '07 or '06, I wouldn't buy an '08 either. I'd wait until the '09's, because you know it's going to be better than the '08.

Personally I find it irritating all the elitist snobby mentalities that are crawling out of the woodwork around here lately just because they have the 'latest and greatest' and think their cars are better than the rest of us. Not like IGAF about any of that because wait until the 09's come around and the 08's are suddenly bottom of the barrel.

'06.. '07... '08... '83....

Man I just don't care!! I love all vettes and if anyone wanted my opinion about which vette is best I would ALWAYS answer its the one sittin' in my garage. Sure it's an '06 sure it will have 30 horses less than the '08s.. but she's my baby and that makes her the best!!

Great looking ride and welcome back to vette-land!!!

Looks good but then it looks like mine!

The first mod you need to do is take off those silver GM plaques in front of the rear wheels. They really stand out on a black Vette. A hair dryer a piece of fishing line and a business card are all the tools you need to do it.
