Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,
Just became the proud owner of a 2006 C6 Corvette last month. Was trying to decide between a Mustang and a Corvette and I'm so glad I didn't go for the Mustang. Came across this forum when looking for some stuff so decided to join since I plan on working on the car myself. The car has some minor issues but got it at a great price so I didn't mind. I will make a separate post for some of the issues to avoid making this thread too long. If anyone has any general advice on owning this car, it will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Lol, I've liked Mustangs since I was a kid so it was a bittersweet moment to not get it. Really happy with the purchase though, love how the C6 looks and drives.
