Default My membership on this forum took on a new meaning today!!!

After saving since 2006 and learning from this great forum, I have finally purchased my first Corvette! I can't thank the people of this forum enough for putting out great information, answering noob questions and overall just being great. My 2008, Atomic Orange, MN6 with only 28K miles from the original owner was just what I started looking for, and I was fortunate enough to find it here in my back yard of Phoenix, AZ so no need to travel. Drove 50 miles home with the car today (big city) and averaged 29.8 MPG, not bad! The response from the 6.2 is amazing and I can't wait to take it out to a track to see what it can really do!!!

Here are some pics I took with my phone, and more to come later. Unfortunately the owner was not a neat freak like me so really dirty. More to come...

Thanks all, by the way I want to repay back the forum. I bought a 5 use CarFax and only used 1, so 4 left. PM me if you need a report and I will pull it and email your way. Only 4 so first 4 PM's get it, and I work like 14 hours a day so my response may be delayed a bit.

No kidding, first thing first, fluids need to be changed, car needs to be completely detailed. Then the fun begins!

Smart decision to replacing the fluids. Sounds like you'll be keeping it good shape too.
