Greetings to all here on this site. I accidentally found this site while surfing the web for some goodies for my 08 C6 6 speed manual with 17 k miles. I am new to the Corvette family since just obtaining one about a month ago. Due to the weather conditions here, I decided to put it in storage before the salt got to it up here. So far the winter has been mild here, but I had to get the storage place while there was one. I've already started accumulating new parts for it and it is driving me crazy not being able to start the modding. I look forward to picking the brains of many of you here on the site as I slowly mod mine and share any knowledge I gain.

Thanks and appreciate the advice. I'm diggin this site because I am eager to gain knowledge to enhance my Corvette experience. Some of the other sites aren't as helpful, so I am enjoying this one.

That was at the dealers. It has 17K on it, not bad for an 08. 6 spd/ manual. I've got lots to do to it when it gets out of "car jail". I'm not real crazy about those factory wheels, so new ones are on order. There's a bunch more waiting.

Nice... Still thinking I need a C6. You could always move to Texas and daily drive that bad boy!

I actually am thinking of eventually relocating somewhere more moderate weather wise. The little I have driven it so far, it is a joy to drive.
