Hey Y'all
In 1975 I bought a corvette ..... long story, short ... I never drove it home as insurance was 1,200.00 a month (I was young). Never looked back but always wanted one.

Aug 2013, just bought a 2012 Sonic Blue C6 GS Just found this forum the other day and I am learning a lot, Thanks to everyone for all the info that is here.

I have only driven it a short time and loved it! I am now at work until Oct 25 and can't wait to get home to enjoy it. I did learn the hard way that you can't put your phone in the console I plan on getting the console insulator from Top Flight and I've also learned that a front plate is now required in TX so I have some work to do already. I like working on cars as much as driving so all is good.
