Default newbie to C6

Hello, New to the C6 side forum. I had a 1972 coupe for a while and posted over there, until 3 yrs ago when I had to sell my first love due to financial reasons.
I have been lurking here for the last couple of months and just purchased an 07 3LT vert.
What a great car!
It was this place that help me make the decision on the C6.
I just recently turned 50 and was really thinking about a 50th ann. C5.
Then I came here and realized that I wanted the newest I could afford.
Thanks to all here (though it was behind the scene) with the help in making that choice.
Here is a couple of pics.[IMG]

Now I just cant wait for the weather to warm up.
Thanks again to all!

Congrats on the C6. You're going to love it. Congrats too on turning 50! Getting to 60 will feel like 15 minutes, lol.

Nice, congrats. I too thought a c5 was my only choice, then I got lucky on an 06 and couldn't be happier... I would have regretted getting a c5 instead of a c6, to me it's that much better!!

Congrats on your new ride, looks so clean, snow on the ground. I live one state to the east & feel your pain. It's fun to hear about new C6 owners cause I'm fairly new as well & know how good you feel. Enjoy the heck out of it.

Beautiful C3. Loved the early models with the chrome bumpers.

You'll really appreciate the performance and practicality/reliability of the C6.

While you're waiting for the snow to melt, read your Owner's Manual several times.

The car has some quirks, but you already know where to come for answers.

Congrats, and don't forget to wave.
