Default Back, with C6

Just wanted to say "Howdy" to the C6 types. I sold my Nassau Blue '99 (loved that car) and got myself a Jet Stream Blue '08 Coupe w/6k miles on it. Oh.... soooooo nice. Loved the C5....already lovin' the C6. <grin> OF COURSE.



Had a '92 C4 for a 8 years, and my 99 C5 for about 11... and now this C6. They really do keep getting better.
