WooHoo... I'm back

I picked up the Z06 this afternoon.... I bought and 04 MS Z with 2700 miles on the meter...
It is just like new... I can't see any wear on anything...
The underside looks like new.. The only thing wrong is the guy got wax all over the brake ducts.. no biggie..
Feels and looks great... It's great to be back in the seat of a RWD V8..

I was diagnosed with cancer, freaked out and sold my previous Z.. didn't know what was going to happen and didn't want the wife to be burdened with it.
So I have a Z again and life is good...

I will post some pics soon...

I am really happy to see that you are back in the saddle, so to speak. I am also glad to know that you have done so well in your fight against cancer.

I had cancer when I was 19 and beat it with the help of God and a good surgeon. I am 46 now so I think you can consider me cured! I am really happy for you!

Enjoy the car and the new lease on life you have. Beating cancer makes you appreciate everyone you have around you so much more...life seems a lot sweeter and the priorities a lot clearer, huh!
