Welcome to the forum, Dan and thanks for your service! Oh.. and the BMW owners are jealous and just trying to get a longer look at your Vette.

Fellow Drivers Interest and Drivers School
Nice looking '69. I am surprised at the looks of interest that come with the car. I always admired looking at Vettes, but, never knew how much attention they drew until I drove one. Once I looked at the performance numbers, I couldn't believe how far Vettes had evolved with other highly respected sports cars and sport sedans. I feel very proud driving one of America's finest products ever built. A "C6 specific" driving school to better develop my knowledge, skills and judgement would be very worthwhile.

Great looking Vette! Great welcomes and comments. I can't believe the diversity Vettes deliver. I took a older friend out today. While very impressed with the smooth ride and seats, he was overcome with the acceleration and exhaust tunes. His grinning wife heard the car several blocks away! I ordered the Mild to Wild mod after learning today that it fully reverts back to dual-mode factory specs when OFF for quieter 24/7 control. It should sound great directly from idle on short trips. Activating the M2W near curious admirers will be a fun trick.

Thank you for serving your country. Our best wishes are with you all each day. Took a 2 hour ride and becoming better familiar with the cars' feel. It's very well balanced, solid, quickly inspiring and my confidence grows. The steering feel, athletic handling and power delivers a great combo. My past dream car was a Supra tuned around 450 HP and had to settle with the MR2 Turbo. The emotional experiences felt in this Vette are much different than the Toyo's. I believe a sport cars' true value is absolutely measured by the quality of the driver's emotional involvement. I like it much more now than I could have imagined earlier.
