I have finally decided to become a member after looking in at the forum for about a year. I must say that I am impressed by the good natured banter and all the great info that is posted on this forum. I purchased a 2010 M6 Arctic white 3LT Grand Sport last March. It has the chrome wheels with the NPP exhaust which sounds incredible. I have been waiting a long time to get behind the wheel of a Vette and I had a blast all summer. I now am able to cross it off my bucket list. I am now hoping for an early spring so that I can get back out there behind the wheel. I had seen a thread a while ago about how the road to getting a Vette happened. Well this is how my road started. First car was a 1972 MG Midget, next in 75 I bought a 71 Olds Cutlass S, to a Chevy Monza Spyder with the 5.0 liter V8, went a little downhill to a 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix, to a rice rocket 84 Honda Prelude, and here is where the dark times come in from 89 all the way to 2K where I was driving a couple of minivans to haul the kids around. Bought a 2000 Grand Prix for the 2nd time and then a sweet 2005 Nissan Altima SER with a M6. Finally bought an Infiniti G35x which is my DD in 2008. Looking forward to lots of great insight and tips from all you guys out there.
