Just a short note to say how much I've enjoyed owning my '05' C6. Bought it new almost 17 years ago (Jan 05). It's been a great car with virtually no problems. Plan on keeping it much longer. Hope all of my Vette friends have a great Christmas and New Year.

I have had my 05 for 8 years and it has been a great car! I drove it out to Indy for the Bloomington gold show and did laps with other Corvette`s and also drove it to Road America for the IMSA Sports car weekend. Parking in the Corvette Coral was something everyone should do as well as the Sunday morning laps with 105 other Corvette`s. Bucket list this if you can. you will never forget driving into gasoline Alley to get onto the speedway at INDY. Same for Road America..... The instant you get on and drive into turn one and then through the kink down through turn 5 and up the hill will give you the chills. It only gets better when driving by the Corvette Coral and down through the kink on the back stretch before the sharp right hand turn entering Canada corner. Enjoy every moment with your car. I do.

Love the silver Corvettes. With all the troubles the C7's and C8's have had sometimes it sure seems the C6 might be the most reliable modern Corvette. Congrats and enjoy.
