I bought my first Corvette Monday and I couldn't be happier. I have been in search of a low mileage Yellow C6 convertible for awhile and found one that I was very interested in. The problem was that it was 7 hours away in Ohio, north of Columbus. I have looked at four yellow C6's (and one C5) in the past year and have been disappointed , I didn't want to make a 7 hour trip and be disappointed again. I reached out to club members and several said they would take a look at it for me. I'm not going to say I was surprised because there are some great people here.
Big thank you to MIkeSVT04 for taking the time to meet the owner and look at the car for me and to 1968swbbigblock who recommended Corvette Care in Powell to inspect the vehicle.
I was going to trailer the car back but knew driving season is pretty much over in Northern Michigan, would probably only get a few miles in before it went into storage......so I grabbed the wife and went on a road trip. I decided to rent a car one way and drive the vette back......great decision!!! Scott at Corvette Care was able to get me in for an oil change prior to the 440 mile trip back. While I was there I decided to change out the stock wheels for a set of R86's he had....great guy to deal with.
Had sun shine and was smiling for the 440 mile trip home.



Much better look.....I think

 

She's beautiful!

Sometimes the disease incubates for many years. There is no way around it though. Once caught it will become full blown!

Congrats and I wish you many years of safe enjoyment!

 

Great looking car, and even better story!

Congrats. on the C6 convertible, and here's to many miles of smiles and enjoyment!

 

Well done! Forum comes through once more....

 

Nice car! Congrats!

 

This may be the longest winter of your life...


Congrats on a great looking C6

 

All,
Thank you !
It is going to be a very long winter. Will be spending the next week detailing prior to hibernation.

 

Nice ... congratulations

 

Congratulations! Nice choice for your 1st Vette! Corvettes are just supposed to convertibles.

Best of luck with it.

 

Now the fun really begins.

 

Love verts. Nice looking ride and wheels good luck
Time for a battery tender for the winter months

 

 

Great looking vette. I had a 2007 velocity yellow convertible before my current 2010 GS coupe. What year is yours and how many miles?

 

Thanks Rick369, Its a 2007, I bought it from the original owner with 10,125.

 

Nice ride and congrats!

 

VERY nice. Not to mention the wheel swap was well worth it. It looks 20x better.

 

I'm not a convertible guy, but congratulations.
And those wheels are sweet!

 

Congrats...love the new wheels too

 

Congrats, and like others have said, the new wheels look way better. Too bad you're in Michigan, hopefully you'll get to enjoy it before the winter.

 

Glad it all worked out and as others have said the wheel choice is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing the follow up!
