Default C6 Major Problem

That horrible DSOM six speed will not let me go to work. Everytime I go into the garage it either needs driven, wax or just looked at!! This could have been a mistake. Maybe it will rain soon and I can go to work.

If you had gotten an automatic like mine, that wouldn't happen.

I am having the same problem. Got mine last friday and only driven it twice since it has been raining. It just seems wrong to get a beautiful car like that dirty.

My wife thinks I am nuts. I starting to believe her.

Because 6-speeds are more fun.

There is no better feeling than being in a low slung sports car in the rain. Dont get me wrong, not POURING rain. But drizzle.

This is a self correcting problem: Eventually you lose your job due to lack of attendance, your $ runs out, then they come and take away the C6, thereby freeing up your time to search for new employment that, incidently, pays much better than your current job. This allows you to then go out and purchase a new loaded Z06 in CASH. Better car, no payment, what problem?
