Default C6

Looks like I am going to have to change my avatar picture. I'll post up some pix of my (new to me) '08 when I can get them. I'm sure I'll find a place this weekend. NO RAIN!

Dealer pic.

I traded it Jeff. There were a couple reasons; one being that I did not want to deal with tire kickers and joy riders trying to sell it myself. I got a reasonable trade and the people at Park Place Ltd. were very nice and low key. They have some very exotic stuff there. My C6 was chump change compared to some of the German iron and other stuff they have there. And a classic resto-Mustang, Corvettes, Bentley's and some sports cars I had never seen before that look to be wicked fast. I am pleased with my deal and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks Jeff. It's a 3LT with the dual mode exhaust option that opens up when you hit the throttle. (you can pull the fuse to keep it open all the time). Z51 package, drilled rotors, red and black upholstery, tilt, telescoping wheel, HUD. I think the only option it does not have is GPS/NAV, but I really don't care much about that. It had 14,100 miles on the clock when I drove it off the lot.

Congratulations! I just saw your car last week - had to stop by the Car Toys, and Park Place had your Vette on the corner spot in front of the dealership. It was nice to see a C6 in the feature spot! Looked just as nice as the $$$$$ cars that are all over their lot.
