Hi Guys and gals.
Have watched this forum for a year now and finally in July purchasd an 06 Mn6 Vert Trpl Blk. Drove corvette's years ago, owned a 76 and 73 (loved the 73 - 76 not so much!) obviously the C6 is unbelievable in comparison.
I really just wanted to say hi and thank you for the vast member knowledge that I have found on this site. From my new passport radar detector along with the master blaster car dryer, I owe a huge dept of gratitude for excellent advice on all corvette related purchases.

PS To all my American friends... Canadians thank god every day that we have you folks as nieghbours...in spite of the vocal minority who bad mouth and criticize. God speed to our troops (yours and ours!)

Bye for now.
BL

Hi Neighbor,

Back in 1969 I worked at a Sun Oil tar sand site just above Ft McMurrey over winter. The worst cold I every felt but the locals were the warmest. I can't say enough about how great a work experience that was when I was just starting out.

Congrats on your new car and hello from a fellow Canuck.

Congrats, from a long ways away. When we visit Canada, we cross over, at Buffalo, or Niagara Falls, N.Y. You folks sure have done a nice job, on your side of the Falls, at Niagara Falls, Ontario. - I visited there, and on to Toronto, 2 weeks ago. -- --
