Default My "new" C6

Here it is. So far I'm really liking this thing. You guys were asking for pics , so here goes. I'm using flickr. I hope this works. It's a 2005 1SB 6 spd. 30,000 miles. I scanned the vin at the dealer and they said it needs 2 recalls. Roof panel and active handling. So I guess I have to bring it in. I swapped all fluids in the car to synthetic including transmission, which now shifts real smooth. No issues so far!
