Default Finally!!!

Thank you to all of those who answered my questions (sometimes goofy ones) and guided me. After enough false starts, wrong turns, and dead ends I finally got myself back into a C6.

It is a 2013 GrandSport with a 60th-anniversary package, 4LT, 21,000 miles, and two owners.

Very nice my fellow Arizonan......now that you have your new to you C-6, if you didn't already know, there is a "HUGE" all Corvette show in Prescott on the weekend of September 23-24th.......you ought to look into it and come up and see 300 Corvettes (the maximum that they will allow, not sure it's full or not). It's held in downtown Prescott.......and is a heck of a lot of fun with some AMAZING Corvettes.....go to: 2022 Historic Prescott Corvette Show for more information.......hope to see you there!

Thanks, I'll look into that. Prescott is a bit of a ride from Tucson.
