New Member, First Time Corvette Owner
Im not actually sure that this isn't the first Corvette I have driven. 2001 black convertible, M6, red sport seats, polished C6 wheels. 69,700 when I got it, about 72,000 now. Dailying it since it isn't a rare or special car, has been totaled and repo'd before, so I am just going to enjoy the heck out of driving it!
