Default Finally back!😎

After a long absence I finally bought back into the Vette world. 100% stock 2008 with 15,000 miles. Only problem is I had to drive it 200 miles home. 😂🤣😂🤣😂. Now I need to change my avatar.



New home!

Very nice C6. I can't see where the problem was driving it home 200 miles. That would be the fun of it IMO.

I bought my C6 1250 miles away, drove it back to my home base in 2 days. It was a blast.

Enjoy

Welcome back with your C6!

Very sharp car, and very fair pricing for the mileage and condition.
