Another new, old guy
Hello Everyone,
I finally have another corvette after about a 30 year absence. Just purchased a 2009 C6 Convertible, Crystal Red, with Cashmere interior. My wife and I can't wait for spring, but the in the mean time it is waiting patiently in the garage under cover with a Battery Tender connected.
The drive from CT to IN was definately interesting, and quite a story to tell, but won't bore anyone here with that. Needless to say, I have first hand experience with a C6 in snow.
Thank you to everyone in this forum. It has been a wealth of information.
Dan
