Well I sold my 2003 torch red vert Wednesday and picked this one up today. A 2012 torch red 3LT Grand Sport convertible with 6000 miles on it. I have spent the last 2 years learning about the C5's now I will have to start over on the C6"s. There is a wealth of information on this forum.
I really hated to sell the C5 it was perfect with only 46,000 miles on it. I have enclosed a pic of it along with two of the C6. The Grand sport is a whole different level.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome and comments. I will miss the C5 but the C6 puts a big grin on my face also. The C5 went to a good home. Actually it joined a collection of 26 other cars. I know it will be well cared for.

i just brought it home yesterday and I have walked into the garage countless times to admire it. Did the same when I got the C5 too.

Excellent looking machines. I understand about repeated trips into the garage to admire your Corvette. Never get tired of seeing mine either. Enjoy 
Great color choice. I went from a black 03 to a torch red 13.
