Hum......maybe Blond C6
Our local dealer had a loaded C6 VY Vert with paddle shifter and a full tank of gas....so we took it for a spin. Drove well and I did show JJ you can turn the car off with it in gear by pushing the button.......a non issue for restart, but 
looking at Julie's face 
Hum.......time will tell, but she liked it

I really really liked it!!! It handled nicely and I had fun with the paddle shifters. (I shift my automatic as it is now!) It's just taken a while for the C6's to grow on me......now I've just got to find that money tree!

Nice car. Goes good with the 2 in the background. A couple weeks of overtime should help defray the cost of that bad boy. Look forward to seeing the new vert (and the 2 of you) at the next track meet.

Right now, it's just a 'thought'......and this time it wouldn't be 'an addition to'...I'd have to get rid of something!!!

You can do it...
