Hello to everyone,
I just bought a 2008 Corvette 3lt coupe C6 with 22,000 miles on it. This is my first Corvette although I have friends that have had them over the years, I hope between them and this blog I can learn all the do's and don't to keep from having some real bad experiences owning this gorgeous car.. I know there is much to learn and I hope to draw from everyone experience I have always been a Mercedes SL 550 guy, dare I say. he he I live in a midsize town that has a GM Corvette dealership but many horror stories I'm told of dealerships that don't know what they are doing on Corvette's As you might can tell I'm a bit nervous and was some what reluctant to make this purchase because of stories of unreliable and poorly designed Corvette's I better stop with this before my ignorance exposes any more of myself. Thanks to all for sharing any and all your experience with me in advance.
