Default Breaking In 08 Z08 Sunday Drive......
Great weather today 80's here in Los Angeles (sorry east coast people) and the new Z06 just begged to be driven.Went on a cool Sunday cruise. I now have 319 miles and can't wait to hit the 500 mark(Yes I believe in the 500 mile rule). The more I drive this amazing ride the more I love it. Best sports car I have ever owned and much better than my 02 Z06. I can't believe how much complaining on the Z I read about here on the forum. I can't complain one bit. It's a love thing. Here are some pictures enjoy! Greg

the weather here in LA was so great in fact I left the Z at home and took a long ride through my town of Santa Monica and Malibu on the Harley. First day of daylight saving time. What a beautiful day.
