tjpreul and durangoboy told me I should join this forum, so here I am. I am Brandon, the proud owner of a 2008 black C6 A6 paddles with HUD. I picked it up Feb 28 with about 55k on the clock.

Mods:
-Cray Scorpion Rims - 20"x10.5 rear and 19"x9.5 front
-SLP Blackwing Intake
-Black Vinyl Corvette Emblem Overlay
-Painted Rear Markers
-Alpine INA-W900BT monitor/GPS/rearview camera
-Custom Interior Armrest Wrap
-GoPRO Camera
-35% front tint, 5% rear

I traded in my 2006 Subaru WRX for the Vette, and I used to be pretty involved in the Subaru Community, so the forum life is not anything new to me.

You guys should have heard the squeal his driver seat would make when it would reposition itself every time we got in and out of the car. OMG that was horrible.

It was something the car did from the day he bought it. It was bad enough that with the door closed as a distance you could hear it. I imagine quite embarrassing.

It did get fixed but I wasn't involved.

Thank you all for the kind words. Yes, that is the big Burr Oak Tree in McBaine. It is a big photo op for us out here in Mid Missouri.

As far as the seat thing goes, ya, it was pretty annoying every time we would get in and out of the car. I ended up unbolting the thing from the car and going to town on every moving part in it with WD-40. It fixed it for now, but I am assuming it will start to act up at some point again.

I plan on doing some mods to it in the near future, and I will be following up with pictures as they happen.

Brandon, looks like a fine C6. I'm just down the road from you in JC, but get to hang around with Tyler and Matt from time to time. Hmmm, might be a good time to get together with the gang!

I agree Andrew. We should set up a meet and greet soon. Maybe after the Holiday weekend?
