Default CT Shoreline

Hi Guys! I was wondering if there are many people here along CTs Shoreline (New Haven - Mystic) and if there are any vette things that go on in this area? I'm hoping to be vette-laden in April.

Thanks,

- Thinker

I just left East Lyme, CT for sunny Florida last week. You missed many Mod Parties this past year. There should be lots going on in 2006

Hi!

This year - end of April. I started looking last August - but by the time I got going, it was late in the year and I wanted to wait for the A6.

I intend to shop in April and buy something. My lead car is the c6, but I'll likely check out a CLK500 or an S4 if I decide I have to cave-in for the backseat.

However, I'm STRONGLY leaning toward a silver c6 vert, f55 w/Nav & onstar. (Not that I haven't built it online a few hundred times).

So, part of my calculation is - in comparing the cars, which will give me more fun things to do. I haven't seen a bunch of guys driving Mercs into a diner lately - have you?

Have any of you guys ever bought from Kerbeck? I hear such great things.

Where do you take yours to get serviced? Is McDermott ok? Anywhere else better?

I assume, however, that if I were doing NCM - I should do it through the local guy - or does it matter??

You can get the NCM option from any dealer.
