Default Picked up a new toy

I sold my snowmobile and jetski in the last few months with the intensions of not really getting another toy. That didn't last long. For years I've always wanted to buy a corvette. I have always liked the sunset orange on the F-bodies so i set out looking for a 2006 Sunset Orange Corvette. It took me a few months but i was finally able to find one in NJ and picked it up on Monday. I don't have any other pics right now other than the older ones the owner sent me from about a year ago. It looks exactly the same though. I will get some more pictures once I get it cleaned up. Its pretty dirty by my standards lol.

2006 C6 Coupe
Daytona Sunset Orange
Ebony Interior
MN6 with the FE1 suspension
Glass roof
Polished wheels
3LT
Bose/On-star
8800 miles
Cross drilled and slotted brake rotors were added all the way around most likely by the original owner

Congrats Mike! Hopefully we will actually get to see this one. Don't park it next to the Monte... it may fall into the black hole and never be seen again.
