Default Hello from Raleigh, NC

Hey everyone! Ive been a lurker on the boards for some time now. I decided it was finally time to register and start participating when I picked up my '05 mn6 z51 c6 the other week.

This is my first vette and I still cant believe it everytime I look in the garage, which I do multiple times throughout the day even if Im not driving it, just to make sure its still there.

I found this gem at a local import dealer on consignment. The first owner wanted a 911 turbo and told the dealer if they could sell his car and find the right turbo he'd buy it. So they posted it on autotrader and the email alert I had set up notified me that day. The probem was becuase these guys (the dealer) have never had a vette on their lot and know nothing about them, they didnt provide much info as far as options, ect. So I decided to go take a look and figure out exactly what this car was for myself. When I got there I was blown away. The other dealers (chevrolet mostly) that had similar cars on their lot were asking $3-5k more. I said to myself, this is too good of a deal to pass up. Not only is it a great deal but it's in my back yard practically.

Im in love! Its machine silver with ebony interior, fully loaded with z51, 1sb with nav and heads up and only 30k miles. She's a beaut! The original owner took very good care of this car and fortunately kept all records. How can you beat that? The exact car I was looking for, in the right colors, with the right options, with well documented history, at the right price, right around the corner!

I lucked out plain and simple!

I look forward to being an active member on the forums. I have been on several other auto forums in the past, mostly club lexus since I have owned three lexus sedans- a '98 gs400, a '01 gs430 and a '06 gs430. Other cars I have owned include- multiple trucks, f-body camaro, multiple stangs and cobras. Ironic, I know, considering my username I can already tell you after only driving the vette a hundred miles or so that this is going to be one fun ride!

There are so many helpful members and great vendors on this site. Im proud to be a member and hope I can contribute for years to come!

Now let the modding begin...

Default Welcome & "Sweet Silver Vettes"

Congratulations on your new Corvette & Welcome to the Forum!

Since you've got a new "Silver" Corvette then you might consider joining us at a fairly new social group here on the forum called "Sweet Silver Vettes" . http://forums.corvetteforum.com/grou...er-vettes.html

We are just trying to round up as many Silver Corvettes as we can for this group to show the world the vast array of Silver Corvettes. Please join us with your Corvette! All you need to do is show a picture & state your color!

When you go to the Sweet Silver Corvettes group at the URL, there is near the top of the page where the gray line says "social group" on the left side, go over to the right on that same line it will say "join group" just click on that. Hope you can join us! Let me know if you've got other questions. Hope to see you there too!
