Finally
I bought my Z06. It's a 2001 TR with modred interior. Only 8600 miles on the od. Many thanks to Bill(IMXCITD) for the help in purchasing this great car.
I flew from Chicago to Norfolk Va. and picked it up and drove it home. Out side of driving in rain for 3 states, sitting in gridlock for 3 hours out in the middle of nowhere, dense fog in the mountains and construction and heavy traffic in Richmond and Newport News it was a great trip.
The Z handled great and I'm smiling still.
Any time I stopped I couldn't help looking back at the car. A 25 year dream realized. 4 for 6 in waves over the first weekend. Will post pics when my Daughter comes home from school with my camera and shows me how!!

There are a lot of us who had the pleasant experience that you are having! I've owned mine nearly two months and have put on almost 2000 miles!
Enjoy it! I know what you mean about staring back at the car when you park it etc! I STILL do that!
