Hi all.


I have had the C6 "fever" for just about a year now.

So, I sold my mostly restored 82 Corvette last week, went to MacMulkin
Chevrolet 2 days later & by weeks end purchased a 2013 1LT from Tommy Jr.
Tommy was able to get me in a new car for nearly the same price as what
most used car dlrs. were wanting me to pay for 50K+ mile cars!

I want to thank Elaine @ Corvette Mike for also helping me out as best she could with my search when I was looking at pre-owned.

That said, I signed papers yesterday & due to lousy weather, Tommy let me keep the car there allowed me to take delivery today when the weather
dried up, awesome!

I bought black (I know, not red this time!), with an ebony interior & 6
speed.

A red car was my 1st choice, but all Tommy had was auto's with my
transmission & interior criteria. Black was my 2nd choice.

Now time to start reading the pretty thick owners manual & hanging out
in the C6 section.

Here's a few pics, well, allot of pics.
