Default Finally an owner!

I joined here in December of 2012 after lurking awhile to learn. I asked many questions and got plenty of detailed answers, along with some PM and email replies. I really appreciate all of the help, it aided me in making an educated decision.

Today I closed the deal on a 2007 C6 Lemans blue M6 convertible. A 3LT car with Z51, cashmere interior and tan top. 13k miles. All stock except for Borla exhaust - which sounds fantastic.

I found it while on vacation in Florida recently and got to test drive it. I wanted to buy it, but had some issues back at home to deal with. Fortunately, I got that all worked out and the car was still available - although barely. Once all of the paperwork matters are settled the car will be shipped from Florida to Ohio - just in time to be put under a cover in my garage until this crappy weather is gone!

I had about 20 years of riding Harleys and sold my Ultra Classic last month. Also retired from a 33 year police career recently, so this is my Harley replacement and retirement gift.

Here are some dealer photos:




Can wait to get it home!

My favorite color, so much that my avatar is the new owners picture of my 2005. The first two C6's were a 2005 Lemans Blue coupe and Vert.

Enjoy it's a real beauteddie

Tony , I'm 64 and still have my Harley and always think if I get to where I don't feel comfortable riding two wheels anymore ,then I will always have the Corvette which seems like a Harley on four wheels. Have fun with the new Corvette.
