New Corvette for me
It only took 66 years but I finally have my Corvette. I bought an 06 - Lt3, Z51 that looks like it just came from the showroom. It's Monterey Red with Cashmere interior. It's amazing how many heads turn when I drive it. (I think my wife likes it more than me)
I've had a few people tell me that there weren't a lot painted this color and it cost additional to get the color. Is this true? If so, does anyone know how many were painted this color? Also, how does a newbee like me tell the difference from an 05 thru 08 just looking at the exterior?
It sure does make an old man proud!
