Today is my 2nd Anniversary with my 03 Z06
Well, it's hard to believe, but today is my 2nd year anniversary with my 03 Z06. Here is a photo taken below, of when I picked this beauty up just outside of Chicago, 2 years ago today. My Valentine
I had to search for a while, and the funny thing is, a buddy of mine who's wife had a C5 Vert, found it for me. I wrote down the exact car I was looking for, (year, model, and color) and told him it had to be basically new, and he took it as a mission.
It only had 1793 miles on the clock and was absolutely bone stock. I couldn't believe I finally found the exact car I was looking for.
Here is a link to the photos of it on D&M's website. Stunning!!!

A good story to go with my purchase experience, I went to the bank on the 12th of Feb. which was a Wednesday, to get a cashiers check and the lady asked me out of curiosity what I was buying. I told her a Vette, which sparked a great conversation about her son who was in the Air Force and had a C6. She asked me if I had heard about the museum falling into a sink hole that morning and I told her, yeah right! She went and got her IPhone and pulled up the story on a local news site and I was both stunned and sickened. I was working mid-night shift and had gotten up earlier than normal to go get the check and hadn't heard about it.
Anyways, I got off work at 4AM on Friday morning (Valentines day), and my buddy was sitting in the driveway with his truck and a borrowed trailer, and we went up and got it, and got back home at 11PM that night. I was dog tired, but the adrenalin of owning my first Corvette, which was a life long dream and early retirement gift to myself for 30 years of law enforcement, kept me awake and excited the whole trip.
Happy Anniversary & Valentines Day Baby!
