Default Finally!!!

Yea, so I just got my first vette - a 2002 Z06. I might have to go to the dr. to have this permanent smile fixed. Holy cow is this thing fun to drive!!

Unfortunately, I was only able drive it a little on Sunday and then to the airport this morning where it will sit until I return on Friday!! AHHH!!!

I doubt I'll get much work done this week. I can't stop thinking about it! Driving this rental Jeep is KILLING ME!!!

Anyone in Albuquerque with Z06 that would be willing to feed my addiction until I go home on Friday?

Congrats on the new ride. As for modding, I've had my Z for over
two years now and haven't done anything other than lowering. It's a
great car to drive right out of the box.
