Finally did it!
Hi all, newbie here.
As my handle says, I grew up and spent the first 30 years of my life in Le Mans, France, and spent many editions of the 24 hours of Le Mans around the track, with the buddies and the tents planted under one of the big signs scattered around the track.
Needless to say, the Corvette has always been a car legend in my home town, despite the fact it never had great results until the come back with the C5. But the looks of it were enough to make any kid, or even adult, grow a passion about this car.
Soooo here it is, I have finally realized an old childhood dream of mine, and acquired a 2005 C6 in pristine condition, with 40k miles on.
I am so excited, I could just sit in the garage and look at it all day. And night.
Not sure if I can post pics here, but I'll give it a whirl....
Cheers!

Thanks to all for the welcome!
Does anyone have any experience with this cheapo Harbor Freight Tools battery tender:

I already have one (think I used it on a bike before) but wondering if it would keep my battery up since the Vette won't be my daily driver...?
