Default PHOTOS at the BASH!

Paul,

GREAT JOB POSTING PHOTOS! For those of us who were not there!
Many THANKS! By best friend Richard is there with his beautiful yellow ZO6 with plate from Florida that has only 2 letters GT. He is going on the cruise today! He filled me in verbally but the photos tell the story!
THANKS
Scott
Another friend is most likely ordering a Carbon edition!

Thanks, Paul.

I'm disappointed in the battery tender. I would have hoped that they would have wired something into the car that was accessible from the outside so you could easily plug it in. This is just a battery maintainer that plugs into the lighter socket. You can buy those anywhere probably for a lot less money.

The wheels, on the other hand look FAR better than the current gumby wheels and I already like them a little better than the 05-07 wheels.

I will be interested in more information on the USB port. What controls will appear on the nav screen?

and the plug in looks so short(in the photo) you will need to have a seperate extension cord to mess with when using the GM battery tender.

I'm also in the minority as I like the new wheels.

Thank you for the 2011 information. I can't believe my 2008 is 3 model years old.

Great info!

I see the USB upgrade to the NAV. Is the Nav itself upgraded to something more current or are they still using the old unit that is over 5 years old?

Thanks for all the info. Any change to the cheap vinyl previously used for the shifter boot and the E-brake boot?

Anyone know for sure if the batter minder will work on any C6, or just starting with 2011?
