I spotted Tim (SLOWPOKE) in his Monterey Red C6 tonight! He was only about 5 minutes up the road from where I live. I wasn't in the C5 though, I was in my wife's Honda.

Default Vette from Penn

Here's a good one for today!

I was tooling my wheelchair over to my local Mickey D's here in Brampton (Steeles & 10) and spotted a nice victory red '07 vert with Penn plates "SWNG LO". Borlas.

Although it was like 33C, I patiently waited for someone to come out and collect it.

Nice couple about 60 came out, and we talked Corvettes for 25 minutes. (natch, I was wearing my "autographed by Ron" hat!)

Talking is hard for me, but "weez did juz' fine".

The guy never heard of the forum, but Corvette folks are Corvette folks...

I saw a millenium yellow 2005 Corvette this afternoon near my work, it was the first one I've ever seen in person in that color (all the other yellow C6s I've seen have been Velocity Yellow)

I think 2005 was the last year for the MY and the only year on the C6. '06 and up has been VY. Doesn't someone in the group have a MY C6?

It's true, MY was only offered for one year on the C6, 2005. They started painting the C6 in Velocity Yellow towards the end of 2005 production, as there were 760 cars painted VY in 2005.

AFAIK all the C6s in our group are VY. I don't recall seeing anyone with a MY one. Wait a second, wasn't Doug's car MY? (the guy with the mega stereo, skirt package and the lambo doors)
