Default Bought a C6 Z06

Well, after searching everywhere, I've found and bought myself a C6 Z06. So I'll be spending some time in the C6 Z06 section comparing and learning about my new ride.
I'll still be around here too, as we're keeping the C5 for Anne to drive on good weather days. So no good bye's or kicking me out of here yet.

It's being transported from Ohio by Intercity Lines and I got the CF member discount. Hoping for a quick, safe delivery. I'll let you know how they do.

Here's a peek at the new toy.

Thanks guys. Yup, it's a low mileage ride and it's got a tranferable GMPP warranty with a little over 4 years left on it.

Congratulations!

I went looking for a C6Z when I was selling my '03 Cobra. But they were all out of my range.

Enjoy it, and be safe!

It's purdy too rich for my blood still, but I do like the C6Z over the C7, may end up with one someday.

I'd sure like to make it, if the cars here by then, I'll bring it. We'll see what happens.
What day are you doing the coffee/breakfast deal?

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.

Yeah...when and where?

If I may make a suggestion..there is series of restaurants here in Reno, called Peg's Ultimate Ham and Eggs. There is one right up here by my house, with plenty of parking, and..having eaten at all of them, has the best cooks.

Prices are reasonable, and you gets LOTS of food.

Mr. Bill...you've eaten at Peg's, haven't you? Bet Mr. Jean has too!

OK Mr. Bill..get this thing organized..you only have another couple of weeks to get it rolling. (No play on words intended!)

Be kinda fun to have a Corvette 'meet n' greet' during the Air Races.

Air Races are 10th-14th of Sep. Jean. I'm still formulating my plans so I'm open to suggestions as to when you may receive and conduct viewing of this beauty!
BTW, What year is it?

Last year I thought Bill, Jean and I met at BJ's off Victorian Ave.
I'm open to more folks and a different location MCharlie.
PM us and let's do it!
