Default My New To Me C6 Grand Sport

After weeks and weeks of searching, reading through this forum and multiple posts I am finally in possession of my first corvette. I have been searching east to west, north to south for a Yellow Grand Sport with low mileage and manual, and I found it! 2011 Grand Sport, yellow, manual - just what I was looking for. Patience is key! Flew out to Wisconsin from New England Tuesday night and made the 16 hour drive back with the car. What an awesome ride and arrived back in New England this afternoon! Thanks to everyone on this forum for answering all my questions and your guidance!

On your very first drive, you drove longer and put more miles on your car that many in here do in YEARS!

Now you know, these are finest traveling cars on the market today! Don't let it be a garage queen!

Living in Florida myself, you would bake with the transparent roof! Only good for winter in Fl.

Congrats, sir! I always enjoy hearing about the search, the find and the "fly out, drive back" adventure -- awesome memory maker!

Beautiful GS, man -- you have good taste!

Patience is rewarded! Congrats on getting exactly what you wanted. Gorgeous car, love yellow. Glad the drive home was fun. Nothing like getting to know the new car like a long drive
