Default Made the jump from C5 to C6

My 1999 Black coupe served me well. It looked great when it was clean. After it was out of the garage it became a dust magnet. We had a great relationship.

On Friday 8/19/16, I went the extreme and upgraded to a 2009 Arctic White convertible. 15K miles, 2LT, power top, dual mode exhaust and many more great features. WOW, a lot of changes in 10 years.

Now I start all over again tweaking my new ride to my needs. Life is great!!!

Congtats. I love white on a C6.
You went from night to day in color, and I'm sure you will enjoy the upgrade to a C6.

Welcome to the C6 world!

Not only a big difference between colors and generations, also between the coupe and convertible!

Looks great!

Just starting our own process of listing our 2004 commemorative coupe to upgrade to a 12' or 13' Grand Sport, can't wait! Your new and old ride look great.

I attend "Corvettes & Presidents" every year, in the Black Hills, and will have to go back to Devils Tower to duplicate a pic with the C6.

Nice! I went from a black 99 to a black 13 GS.. The jump from a 345HP LS1 to a 430 or 436HP LS3 is pretty awesome..
