The car was literally kept in a bubble. Appears new and drives like it. Just changed out all the fluids and pulled the NPP exhaust fuse to liven up the sound. It's been a couple of years since I sold my C6 Z06. Feels real good to be back in a nice C6 again. Love the CRM paint. Thought I would share some pics:of the new car along with my others.

Looks identical to my 2008, right down to the paint, transmission, and interior. Although mine has considerably more miles.

I may do that. I am retiring at the end of the month and will have plenty if time going forward.

Congrats on your retirement. You will enjoy having the time to do more things you want to do rather than the things you have to do.

Yep. Looks like you were getting low on cars. Good choice. I also have an 08, manual, Z51. Never a minutes problem in the 5 years I've had it.

Actually sold a C5 that morning. Drove it to my buddie's house (he bought the C5) on the way to Jersey and then we both drove down to get this one. Nice day for both of us.

Thanks. I really do enjoy them all. I drive at least one every day if the weather cooperates. I will proably drive the 08 to Florida this winter.

I also just picked up a near-new '08 c6 in the same color! How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking?

Congrats on yours. He was asking $32,900. I bought it for $26,500. Thought I did well considering the mileage and the fact that it's loaded. It is virtually brand new, even underneath. Glad I got the 1 st year LS3.
