Just bought my first Corvette
Just wanted to introduce myself and my 2008 Corvette I bought last week. I picked it up with only 682 miles on the odometer, completely bone stock and I just gave it its first wash and Zaino treatment. I have owned several 4th gen Fbodies but this has been my dream car for a long time. Its also been 7 years since my last toy car so this is a huge change. I am an engineering manager working in flight test. Anyway, thats it, looking forward to learning about this machine.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your sharp C6 Z06!
Less than 1,000 miles is a very rare find!
Sounds like it has not been driven much at all, so you may want to consider changing out all the fluids.
Enjoy your ride and save the wave.

I always wonder why a person would spend that kind of money on a car, keep it in brand new shape and never drive it.

Congratulations are certainly in order. I’d love to hear the history of this car. I sold a 2008 Base Coupe in 2009 with 300 miles on it due to the death of the original owner. How this one only has 682 is amazing. Super find! Enjoy!
