Default Still on our honeymoon!

We just turned 3K miles on our Vette and could not be happier with the car!! No squeaks, rattles, needle bearings, bad shifts, dead batteries, missing roofs, nothing...but great sound, power, and smiles. What a fun car! The only negative is that my wife wants to drive it too.

Thanks Chevy & it's ok if you use our Vette steering wheel on the Malibu

I'm beginning to think that negative comments about our cars draw more attention than positive ones.....

I'm with you. This is by far the most awesome car I've ever owned. I've had mine just over a year and love it more now that the day I bought it. She is a keeper!

that is because you expect nothing but positive out of a $70K car....don't you think?

It rained here in N.H. this Sun., but that didn't stop me from meeting a couple of friends in their Vettes at the Sea coast. The new Z turned 700 miles on the way home. No problems to report what so ever. I've been driving Corvettes for over 35 years now and I always have a blast when driving one for the first time, but this new ZO6 is over the top on the fun factor scale!!

I am happy for you. I just turned over 700 miles in mine also. I am in the same situation with my wife now that I traded her 2007 coupe for the Z06. She can't drive the stick so must ride. She is not a happy camper at this time. She is already talking about selling her Camry and getting her another A6 coupe.

It's like that with anything........People will always look to complain before they complement.

lol...I wish that were true but after owning many cars, a few costing more than $100k I have found that the more complex or technically advanced they are the more ****ling things seem to occur. Nonetheless I am happy to see some positive replies here! We just got back from another 900 mile road trip to Schurz, NV. to pick up some fireworks as the liberals down here in So. Ca. have deemed them hazardous.

If any of you want a great high speed drive, take the 6 out of Bishop to the 360(especially this stretch) and then the 95N. Lots of long, lightly patroled, smooth and virtually empty highway. What a great car this is!! Happy driving everyone!

You are right these are GREAT Cars and really FUN. Besides you bought the Fastest Color. When we got our 08 VY we went to Eureka Springs, ARK. for a Corvette met and then we drove to Canada and to the Falls and back down the east coast then we came home to East Texas and never had a minute trouble in 3800 miles. Let me tell you this is my 5th Corvette and they are made to drive. Even tho I don't get to drive mine as much as I would like to. I have to use the Company car.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was the color or the polish I'm using that makes the car so fast
