Hello from Hawaii
Hello all! I bought my 05 Auto C6 Vette with 39K miles over 2 years ago and it is my first one. My previous "fun" car was a street legal VW Dune Buggy which I miss very much. I love my Vette, but here in Hawaii there's not a lot of places to truly enjoy the potential of this fabulous car. It's mostly stock with the exception of a cat back exhaust, chrome Z06 rims and a rear deck spoiler. The PO gave me a Diablo Predator programmer with the car. I really wanted a manual trans but when I saw this beauty I knew I shouldn't pass on this deal. I also recently purchased a new Fiesta ST as my other "fun" car. It's a blast to drive as well.

Thank you. BTW, my wife and I are planning to move to Central Texas in the next couple of years. My Vette is my only vehicle that I'm thinking of shipping there and I am dreading that, lol.

Dreading Central Texas or shipping your C6? I’m only kidding! My daughter shipped her car from Alaska to Colorado and all ended well. Of course, your trip may be a little more complex, but I think with the right transport company, you’ll be safe. Best of luck!

Thanks. Selecting the right transport company is going to be a tough one as well as a company to ship my 5 dogs. Needless to say this is going to be a very stressful move. Looking forward to it though because when you live here long enough you get "rock fever".
