Default Intro Post

First post to the C6 Forum- wanted to say Hi and introduce myself.

Have been following the Forum for a couple of years now, and finally registered!

Have had a 90 Coupe for about 7 years now and was lucky enough to be able to get an 03 AE Convert last January. The info on the C5 Forum was very helpful to me during the ordering process for the AE, especially since we didn't know how many cars were going to be produced or how they might be allocated back in the summer of 02...


The C6 Forum info and members' knowledge has been a great way to keep up on the C6 developments in real time. And I thought Autoweek was fast! They've got nothing on the Forum!

I was able to get to Detroit for the 2005 Auto Show and saw the red car there. I must have watched it go around and around on the turntable for about an hour! Then I spent another hour at the rolling chassis on display.
I can see a C6 convert in my future in a few years, but I need to pay off my 03 first! And also get a bigger garage!

Save the Wave!

Welcome StrayCat,

I'll be looking for you and that '03AE on the streets

Look for me in the '58 this summer. I'll get a lot more driving time in the '58 once school is out and I don't have to take the kid to daycare in the mornings.

I live in Santa Clara but work in Milpitas.

Thx aobrien! Good to hear from a local person..

58s are cool, don't see too many on the street. My 90 is black/ black with 96 Grand Sport wheels, lowered with Borlas.
