Out with the old, in with the older.
Made a deal they couldn't refuse so Kevin K. and I drove to Iowa to pick up the car. Traded the 2012 A6 3LT Blade Silver Grand Sport on a 2009 M6 3ZR Cyber Gray ZR1.
BIG thanks to Kevin for his invaluable expert assistance!
Her name is "Betty", in honor of my late Aunt who was more like a big Sister to me...

The GS (though a fine car) was never meant to be more than a placeholder while waiting for a C7 and that never materialized. I wanted to experience a Corvette with an automatic transmission and got that out of the way (not so likey).
After putting 400 miles on the ZR1 in 24 hours of ownership and giving her a wash all I miss about the GS is the low number of spokes to clean!

After putting 800 miles on the ZR1 in 24 hours of ownership and giving her a wash all I miss about the GS is the low number of spokes to clean!
They are easier to clean at eye level, that alone should keep you busy and out of trouble!

You know I'm not one to assume...
I programmed the FOB.
I programmed the DIC (options).
I programmed the HomeLink.
I cleaned 80 spokes.
I ordered the front plate bracket.
I ordered a thank you gift for you.

Just remember you are now on the Mafia's clock. I spoke to the "Head Criminal" (as I affectionately call him) today and put in an order for 4 aluminum plates plates, 3/16" thick. Stay tuned...
