Thanks for good wishes, RocketRob. My C8 is the best car I've ever owned. I also have a 26-year old Boxster I wouldn't trade for anything.

thank you, Gixxerman. It is heartwarming to receive so many welcoming messages. There is not a more enthusiastic canyon carver in your group than I am. Every Saturday with a breakfast ride group that goes back more than 35 years, plus rides with Corvette Owners Club of San Diego. They made me an honorary member because I am so good-looking. Either that or because I was 100 years old when I joined. Now approaching 102.

Thanks for welcome, Burning Brakes. Your yellow C6 reminds me of mine, hopefully photo attached. I sold it with regret when I got a Torch Red 2025 Stingray.
