Default New C6 Owner

So I Love my C6 Vette. Just bought it a couple months ago as a gift to myself. (A girl has to treat herself at times!! ) Its a really nice car. I love cars. Always did always will. Because I am new to the Vette crew, I would love some education on how to take care of my baby. I plan on keeping her for years to come.

I am having a couple problems and I am trying my best to avoid the over priced dealerships. Any suggestions??? (I am looking for a good machanic I can trust with my baby)

I'm excited to be a part of the Vette Crew!

Congrats on the purchase! You've joined the club as an owner of the best generation 'Vette! (Although I MAY be a little biased ).

My suggestion would be to try and find some owners in the same general area as you. They'll likely be able to recommend a good shop/dealer.

Pictures are encouraged

Thanks for the Welcome!! I did notice every weekend, there is like car showing in my area at a local Burger King. I guess this is a local car club with car enthusiast such as myself. Maybe I will check it out, get to know some folk and hopefully get some good recommendations!

That's a good idea. Also, try to connect with people on this forum in the same general area. Good luck

welcome. be sure to read the c6 and the car care ( under general corvette topics) forums for info. and be sure to use the search feature for questions you have. they are very informative. When you can't find it by searching then start a thread. also, remember to wave.

Thanks!! Speaking of waving, I notice other Vette drivers in my area will give me a wave here or there. I think that's pretty cool. I never got waves in my 2011 Camaro...Just stares...LOL..

Thought I did include a pic, but here is another one.

My Baby!
