Default Greetings from Wheeling, WV

After a 30 year quality-systems engineering career with Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, I've move back home to Wheeling. I recently found a Magnetic red, tan interior, 2005 C6 coupe in Pittsburgh with 28,000 miles. It's a beauty, and a blast to drive. I've been reading all about active handling and traction control issues. There's a wealth of information here. I won't be bothering the community with many posts, but I do read a lot. Cheers!

Thanks, guys. This is going to be fun. Just got the build sheet and sticker that I ordered from the museum. The "box of all things Corvette" continues to grow.

I stop at Mickey D's in Martins Ferry when I go see my buddy in Steubenville. Every time they honk up the I-70 bridge in Wheeling with construction, we wish that Martin still had his ferry. There's no way to get across the river . . .
