New Guy but not....
Hello-
I am a new member to the Forum but not new to ownership and all of the ups and downs of having your dreams come true. My first purchase was a year ago and it was a bright yellow c6 convertible, boy I had waited for 40 years to get one, and now almost a year later I am the proud owner of a 2017 Z51 Stringray Convertible- still yellow. To say there is a difference in the 2 cars would be a complete understatement- wow she is pretty! But C6- will always be in my heart because of the tail lights- sigh,,,,, There are few things that I actually live for and the grand kids are a tight first place- but Vettes do strange things to me. I look forward to advice and information on events, shows , rallies -across the us. This is a car to play in , not a car to pray to. And yes I have had my first catasrophy with the tacky plastic seat emblem being snapped. Arrrgggh for a 70k car I would expect a bit more that that-or no freaking emblem at all..........
