Hello! I have been stalking these forums quietly for a while now and have finally decided to post on here.
My name is Michael Bender, I am 19 years old, a welder, and have owned my 2005 Corvette Base M6 for roughly 3 months now. I bought it with 43,XXX miles on it and I am loving the car and, of course, already had the exhaust modified lol. I plan on doing some more mods to the car, performance wise especially. But for now I want to upgrade the stock bose system.
I'm liking the forum so far and there is a ton of information on here as well.
Here's some pictures!

After owning my C6 Base 3LT for one year seven months I decided to trade it in for another vehicle...
A 2006 Z06 2LT with only 17,6XX miles! This car is extremely clean and very well cared for. It has Kooks longtubes with a catted X-pipe and a Corsa axel-back along with a K&N cold air intake. I am unsure of any other mods, if any, and need to contact the previous owner to confirm some details on the car. The car is definitely faster, as one would hope, and overall a better car. Albeit from having, at the moment, 4 times less miles and being one year newer.
I am in love with this car after the less than one day of owning it and can't wait to start modifying it tastefully. They only way I would get rid of this car is buy trading up to a ZR1 😉
Yes... Love bug season is in full effect in Florida lol
Had to clean the love bugs off after getting home...
