Default Long Wait is Over... New C6 is here!!!

I took delivery of my New C6 Today!!

This is my First Corvette. I have owned other high performance cars, but this is the best I have ever had. It is a 2008 Manual C6 Coupe. 3LT, NPP, Dual Roof, Magnetic Ride, two tone interior and polished Gumby's. I snaped a few pics with the phone camera before putting some miles on the car...

On my first drive I passed four Corvettes, they all waved... It was kind of nice to see that...

The Corvette really is a different class of sports car....

P.S. I wanted to thank Rick Daniels for making this the best car buying experence that I have ever had...
