Default Second Vette

New to the Forum but on my second Vette. My first was a '99 C5 manual in Torch Red. It had 129,000 miles on it when I sold it. My new baby is a '08 C6 automatic with 36,000 miles in Black, it has the Z51 package and the 3LT interior package.

I am one happy camper!

Great to be a part of the forum and look forward to talking Vettes with you all!

Stopped by the dealer that sold me my car to see if the title had come in and their detailer was in the office. He kept going on about how much he liked my new car, he even has a picture of it as his smart phone background! They sold my '99 locally so I will see it cruising around town.

Just traded in my second Vette on my third! Went from a C5 Torch Red Coupe to a C6 Black Targa top to a C7 Torch Red Stingray Convertible all in just over a year!

I'm jealous! I want to be you! I don't know though... just got my first C6 Black Convertible and I don't know if I will want to part with her... might just add to the family.

I love the C7 in Red! Nicely done!

Thanks! I probably wouldn't have let my Black C6 go if it had been a convertible like yours!
