Default Finally got the first oil change in the new Vert

After 2 months I finally got the initial 500mi. on the new 16 Z06 Vert. Where does all the time go, I thought being retired would give me all the time I needed to do the things I wanted to. Anyway the initial 500 mile oil change was done yesterday so now I can start seeing what this thing can do.

Happy Thanks Giving to all.

Beautiful car Larry. That would have been an excellent top down ride to Winthrop. Maybe next year.

Made reservations yesterday for September 9th and 10th to see the Vintage Wheels car show. We really enjoyed the visit last year.

So did I and it was nice meeting you and your wife. My only mistake was leaving at 0600 to get home in time to watch the Seahawks loose.

Thanks guys.

Now that I've started getting a little more aggressive with the throttle I figured out that traction is minimal at 42 degrees. I should have expected this would be as bad as my previous C6 Z06 if not worse due to the extra torque. But on the other hand I was hoping the bigger tires would have helped. Guess it will be spring before I can really do much with this car beside polish it.
