Default Hello from Florida!

Hello everyone, just picked up my first Corvette last week, 2006 3LT in Monterey Red. This thing is a machine that runs like a dream. Planning to daily drive this thing and hopefully take it on a roadtrip sometime before the end of the year. Let me know if you guys have any tips or advice for owning and maintaining this beast! Thank you!

Thank you for the reply and thank you for your service. I'm from the Ft. Lauderdale area to be more specific, not too far from plantation actually. Just moved down here a few weeks ago from Tampa.

Welcome to the forum and you might want to make a post in the C6 General section to ask any questions you may have on owning or maintaining your C6.
