Well have not closed the deal but my search came to an end tonight when I put a deposit on 08 C6.

I will post details and pics after I take possesion but right now I am very excited as is my wife. I think this search has started to get on her nerves someting fearce but she likes my choice

Thanks for all the help on here and I know I have asked a lot of dumb questions but everyone has been very helpful and made sure I got exactly the options I was looking for PLUS SOME

Thanks again and once I get the paper work done I will honestly feel like I "belong" here on the corvette forum

Kudos, and I hope your 'vette brings you many years of enjoyment.

Don't forget some specs, and photos.

You're very fortunate to have realized your dream at 50.

I've been wanting a Corvette ever since my first up close look at one, when I was 15 years old. Fifty four years later, at age 69, the dream was finally realized, when I purchased a new '13 GS. That's a long time to wait for something!

Once you have a Vette you never go back! I sold mine 2 years ago because of Medical issues, missed it every day it was gone. Tried every car I could think of while it was gone and ended up back where I started, with another perfect Vette and I couldn't be happier to be back!

Congratulations!

Even without the Vette, you belong on the forum as a Corvette enthusiast. Owning one just brings your enthusiasm to a different level!
