Default C6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A while back I asked a question about the difference between a C5 and C6. I received many good answers. I have been looking for the right (for me) corvette for the last two years. I was asked to let you folks know what I decided. This week I found it. 2007 black 3LT coupe manual transmission and 3,000 miles. The search started with color yellow, went to red then to black then silver. Black won I have driven many miles to "kick tires" and ponder. Looked at many pictures on the internet, made many phone calls. They say "accidents occur within 25 miles from home". I bought this car from the original purchaser and it was 30 miles from my home.

Thanks all!

Paul

How many times do you crack open the door to the garage, flip the light on and smile - - before you hit the rack?

Post pics when you can - - -
