Default Found my car :) Woo Hoo

Im unofficially back. and extremely excited. A bit more then I wanted to spend but its what I wanted. Yellow was a second color choice but the wife likes it so that's all that matters. Now the waiting game of getting from NY to CA. When it gets here I already have a few presents for her LOL.

Cool. I had a motorcycle shipped from TN to CA back in '99 and it was $500. How much does it cost to ship a car across the county today? $1500+?

Thanks everyone. I am pretty excited. Half of owning a Corvette is the relationship I have had with each of you. Glad to be back with the family.

George- If I had the time and didn't care about the roads I would drive home.

Mel- It is costing me about $2300

LOL I wasn't going to. I was going to wait on a shark gray but otherwise the same. That didn't work out. The wife and kids seen the car and loved it. Getting her support was half the battle since she liked it I had to bite. I would not have done the Corsa but it is nice to have, not sure I like the stripe on the hood either. The eyelids covers have to go. Everything else are mods I would have loved to get but not sure I would spend $10K+ on a CF kit and exhaust but it is done so I don't have to worry. Funny thing is I have a few things at home I have already bought and this car has it. LOL Here is my list of things I need:

Z06 spoiler CF
Z06 taillights
all the plastic covers under hood hydro carbon fiber
Subwoofer
20/21" wheels

Not bad

Again I cant say this enough. The Corvette community is second to none. With folks like Richie and all the tuners in the area we cant go wrong. I hope and pray I can actually take the time to enjoy this one. I fly out 12/5 to take delivery in NY and then have to go to Dallas for the week to work. Should be meeting the car back in Ca later in the week. Give it a few weeks and that front end is coming off for a Z06 front grill, functional air ducts, and a A&A blower. We are house shopping my next mod is a LIFT once we find it. HAHA

Teddy, I am considering selling my Bendpak 4 post lift if you are interested. I'm not in a rush to sell it so no big deal if you need some time. I may be selling my home in the spring and will want to sell the lift prior to then.

I can get the model number for you if you want it.


Congrats on the car purchase. Looks like a beauty!

Tom- I am actually interested in a 2 post but a 4 post would be nice for storing multiple cars. Why not both lol. If you seen this shop it would make sense. Hell I was day dreaming at one point and thought about a Dyno. I could do dyno days and in 10 years it would pay for itself. HAHA I don't even know what dyno cost hence the wishful thinking, plus I am sure my neighbors would love that.
