Unfortunately,a lot of the auto parts stores around us won't take antifreeze,but our Valvoline instant oil change place will. Might be an alternative for you.

How many miles on your car? I believe the coolant in the C6 is good for 100k miles.

Sell it on Evil-Bay, you could probably make more plus they will pay to have it hauled away.

"Genuine GM OEM Hi-Performance Corvette Antifreeze. This is the real thing. This is the exact same coolant that the Corvette plant uses when they build the ZR1 and Z06 Corvette's. It is usable in any Hi-Performance or other street car engine, don't settle for anything less. Impress your friends, when you tell them it came from a car that can do 186 MPH. This coolant has been lightly used in my Corvette and has plenty of life left in it. It is just as good as the NOS stuff the dealer sell's and way better than the stuff sold at WallyWorld, etc..."

The best idea yet, SELL IT. Anyone interested, $100 per gal.
