Default Just picked up 03' Z06

I finally got another Vette. I had a black 2000 C5 coupe which I had modded pretty good. My old C5 ran a best 10.7 in the 1/4, but I ended up selling it because I wanted to do the family thing.

I sold it back in 2007 and I missed her very much. Recently, I told my wife I wanted another Vette and planned on getting a C5 Z06 next summer, but my buddy who works at a dealership told me about a Silver 03' Z06 they had come in as a trade. I went and took a look at it and boy was it clean!!! It was a one owner, completely stock, never modified Z06 with 19,053 original miles. My buddy talked to the owner and got it for me for $22K out the door!!

I wasn't in the market just yet, but there was no way I could pass this deal up. Now tonight, thanks to the blessing and love from my awesome wife.. I have another C5 sitting in my garage.

I can't stop walking into the garage to stare at her. Now all I need to do is find a suitable name for her. Pics soon to follow.

You are now required to get some good pictures in daylight and post those ASAP.
You are correct! Will definitely make that happen, and my apologies on the poor pictures.

Thanks, yeah.. I couldn't believe it! My buddy that found this car for me is the parts manager, so he said he can get me squared away with anything I need for it or any service it needs.

Welcome back into the fold.
You are going to love your Z06, but your wife may get jealous as you pamper your new gal!

That's one great looking Z - congrats on getting one with such low mileage and at a very good price.

Wow, I test drove an '04 with 13k 2 years ago when I was shopping for mine. I just can't understand how you could own something like that and not drive it.

Congrats on the new ride.
