Default New 09 Coupe

Picked up our 09 Crystal Red yesterday, 3LT, Auto, Forged wheels, Cashmere Interior.

We were active in the forum for several years after we purchased our 99, but have been inactive the last few years. Hope to be more active again now that we have our new car.

One thing I noticed right away with regard to the C6 vs. the C5, it seems much quieter to me, which I like. I can actually hear the Stereo at low volume and the Engine roar when I step on the gas pedal.

Thanks to all.

I forgot to mention that we live here in Virginia, waterside on a river that leads to the Chesapeake Bay near Smith Point.

I have to say that IMHO the Crystal Red color is the best stock paint color I ever saw; but I know it is a matter of opinion though. But, when I saw that car, as the song goes: I got that old feeling!!! So I am back, and now trying to get caught up on the news.

I have gone over the car, stem to stern, and I haven't found any issues so far. Anybody know anything I should look out for? I am enjoying the DVD that came with the car. It made me laugh a bit though.

You see when I got my 99 C5, it came with a VHS tape. The tape was defective and I could never get another one so I had to rely pretty heavily on the owner's manual. The DVD is playing fine so may be things are looking up.

I should say thought that though that I never had any real issues with that car though, and I really like the C6. Thanks again, to all, for the kind words of welcome!
