Hello from Germany
Just registered and want to say hello.
I'm a 53 year old guy from Germany who works in the german subsidiary of an american company. My son and I are very much in favour of American V8's and so I own a 68 Corvette conv. and my son a 68 Mustang.
Now I think it's time (now or never) to add a younger brother (2008 C6) to my C3. Now or never because in Europe driving a car with CUI and HP of a Corvette, behind all the discussion about global warming, increasingly gets a touch of political incorrectness and also more expensive. But sound/power when driving those cars is amazing and I don't want to refrain.
I already got lots of information on C6 here from the forum and I want to thank all the guys who make this forum alive with their postings.
So let's cruise and have fun.
Joachim
