Default Hello & Thank You! C6 Vette New Owner

Hello everyone! I am looking forward to learning from all of you as I don't know much about what's going on under the hood of my corvette. I had an issue with the car not starting yesterday and found the answer and tips from your past posts, it was the battery (dbs). After reading your posts, I got the car jumped and drove it back home, bought a battery tender from Walmart, and will get a new battery this weekend. Thank you for being here

Welcome to the forum.

Get used to posting in the section of the forum for the generation of Corvette that you have. Hopefully you got an owner's manual with your car. But we're usually faster at solutions.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!!!

Mine is on a tender anytime I'm not driving it.

I do believe there is something in the manual that if the car is not driven for x number of days it should be on a tender.
