Default Dreaming....

Soon to be a new owner of a C6!

Watching and admiring Corvettes since I can remember, I finally decided to plunge in and get my own! I'm currently looking at local C6 models: 07 White Conv, and an 06 Silver Coupe Z51/3LT...

Like the White (higher Miles) like the low miles on the Silver... Decisions decisions!

Was supposed to be heading out to have a final look at the Silver tomorrow... with a bank draft! But the White came into play earlier today, when the owner decided to drop 5k$ on his price!

Either way, my birthday is later this week... July 4th, and what a better way to celebrate than to have a C6 parked in my garage!

Glad to found this site, and I'm sure i'll be dropping in often!

Happy Canada Day!

Marc
