Default Traded the C for a nice V

I know people hate when someone posts like this without pics, but I still haven't figured out how to reduce my pics in size so they'll load here.
But I found a real nice 06 Silver V at a great Caddy dealer just outside Atlanta
It's a very well kept Maggied car with 67k miles, chrome rims, brand new Toyo's, grey interior, CAI, SS Headers, and custom tune. As of right now I like it more than the corvette because of its comfort and luxury factor. I haven't really blown the lid off it yet speed wise, but what I've seen so far with a couple test runs has it pretty close to the speed of the corvette. What I really love is the looks I get from people around the car. Most have that " what the hell is that thing" look, whereas with the corvette there was never any mystery.
I'll keep trying with the pics because I have plenty of them.
Another nice thing was driving 12.5hrs home with the car without a single issue. I ran it at 110mph for about 3 minutes and could have taken my hands off the wheel it was running so calmly. My wife wasn't quite as calm but the car performed flawlessly.

The dealership is called Classic Atlanta.
I'm in Macomb County.
I traded an 05 Coupe, Auto with 75k miles.
I like it a lot so far....the vette was nice too, but after having it for three years I was getting the itch for something else. Then I remembered the V's and how much I've always liked those cars. Turns out the Vette and the V were very similar in price so the transactions was pretty simply.
Except of course for the twelve hours each way part!
