Default Great news!!

After looking around and lurking on here for about a year now, I finally found it. I was starting to think that I was being too picky and expecting too much. I'm glad I stuck with it and refused to settle though. This last Friday I became the second owner of a Red 01 ZO6 with 17,000 miles!

This thing is so clean it's crazy! It still has that new car smell even. I love it and can't wait to start modding it and get my first wave!

When the deal started it was at 31,000 and I walked away with it for 27,000. This thing is so clean it's crazy! It still has that new car smell even. I love it and can't wait to start modding it and get my first wave!
