Default Hello from STL

Saying hello to you all. I just put a deposit down on a 2009 C6 and hope to be bringing it home soon. I'm excited to be part of such an active community. I started my driving life in a Datsun with 55 hp. Going to be amazing owning an NA with about 8 times the power. Looking forward to talking more with you all.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Unfortunately, my planned purchase didnt work out and I'm still on the prowl for something. Thanks for all the knowledge this forum provides. I was able to better evaluate the car and determine I should walk away...after a 4 hour drive. On the positive side, I got to spend a bit over 8 hours straight talking with my son, which was a win no matter what.

Welcome and sorry the Vette fell though for you...But there are plenty out there, take your time and you will find what your looking for. But most importantly like you said, you got to spend the time with your son, and that's what family is all about

I have another one set up for inspection today and hopefully this one turns out to be a winner. While this first one was a 4LT, this one is a 2LT, but has all the speed options checked like the bigger brakes and variable exhaust.

And… it worked out. I’ve got a jet stream blue 09 that I’m loving so far. Thank you for all the hospitality!
