Ok the first time I was convinced by my dealership that I was not turning the car off properly. They tested it for a day and a half. Took the car home and it started fine for about two days (these two days I drove it on both.) I let it sit for 3 days, volleying between my Vette and Yukon. Go to hop into my brand new STS to find that "click" "click". The F-cking battery is dead again. I hook the Jumpers on it for one second, and presto, it fires up. Let it sit another 2 days and same thing happens. This time I call the dealer and they tell me to leave it alone they are on my way out for a "house call". They pick me and the car up, put me in a SRX (which I love, my wife loves, and the kids love) .

After a second time back 2 the dealer, the car stayed there this time for 4 days, while they and GM conversed on what was draining my battery. Ok I finally seem 2 have gotten to the bottom of it all. The problem was the Onstar module in the trunk. It would come off and on thru the nite, causing the battery to drain down just 2 the point that the car would not have enuff juice 2 start. They ordered another Onstar unit (or took one from another STS) and installed it.

Anyway everything is running sweet now. I still am in love with this baby. The only thing is that everytime I c the new Corvette in Black or Yellow or Red or Burgundy, I think..."man I wonder if I should have just traded the C5 in for that...damn she's pretty" I'll wait until 2007 or 08 and get one mildly used I think

Go for a Orange C6, took a couple of them out for a ride a couple different times. One fast little car, looks great and the performance. Forget about it...

I love my STS, but a 4 seater vette would be nice. Ugly but fun...
