Hello from Texas
Hello and Thank you for the add,
I am a Retired Army Veteran living in Copperas Cove, TX. I purchased my wife a 2006 Red Corvette Convertible. It was used and I purchased it for 17,000.00 it has 68,000 miles on it. I do a lot of mechanicing but working on this corvette is challenging. I am use to older vehicles without all the electronics. I am hoping to get a lot of assistance here working on it. Thanks again for allowing me to be a part of this forum.

You are correct - the electronics really add to the challenge of maintaining your Vette, but fortunately there are great members with excellent insight.
