Default Back Again

After 1 ½ years with out a Vette I have returned. Early this morning I arrived home with a 07 Black with Titanium Gray with under 3000 miles on it. This will be my fourth Vette. Over the years I have had a C3, C4, C5 and now a C6.

It is an A6 with all the options except for the clear top and the Z51 package. It is a nice step up from my 2000 Vert. that I traded in on the, nice but soulless SC430.

I picked it up in Mobile and drove it back to Houston last night. I spent over 450 miles in her and was quite comfortable the whole way. The seats are better than the C5’s.

Whats the deal with the heat in the console? I made the mistake of putting my wallet in it. My C5 was not that hot.
