Default Hello from KY

I've been an avid gearhead my entire life-have owned several strong running cars, finally had the opportunity to purchase a c6. Found a beautiful 2006 DSOM coupe m6 3LT Z51 with corsa cat back and hurricane intake, has just under 21,000 miles and now it sits in my garage! This is my first Corvette-have always loved them. A good friend of mine purchased a '06 z06 several years back and I fell in love. (I couldn't quite afford the Z-but this car runs pretty damn strong!) This is by far the most amazing vehicle I've ever owned or driven!

Thanks! It was a must have color for me. Wish I could have afforded a Z in the same.

Thanks everyone. Hope to meet some local 'vette owners. My wife loves the car as well-I'm sure cruises will be all but guaranteed!
