Default Finally found my Z

I purchased a 2003 TR/Mod Red Z06 this week with 5,200 miles. Wow! This is the best car I have ever owned and my grin will not go away. I look forward to putting many miles on her. I have been lurking on this site for a while now and I appreciate what I have learned from you all.

I'm looking for the same combo as that. Where'd you buy the car, and that mileage is insane! One thing I'd noticed about Z06's....their owners do NOT drive them much. Foolish to me! Such a nice car SHOULD be driven...not rubbed with a diaper as it sits in the garage. Just my .02
