Default Hello Everyone!

I've owned my 02 QS,Z06 for about two months now. I rented a car and drove up to Asheville NC. to pick it up. On the way back home, the wife and I stopped by the Biltmore estate (Which is an engineering marvel), and then traveled through Gatlinburg and on to home.

I've been reading everyone's threads and comments since I got my Z. Everyone seems to be so knowledgeable and nice, definitely people I'm proud to have something in common with. Just got everything set up where I can post on here yesterday. I'm looking forward to having many conversations with you all!






Thanks for looking!

Very nice looking, Congrats, and Z06's are great, and yeah the Biltmore mansion is a amazing place, we go there once in a while, we just recently went to the Breakers mansions owned by the VanDerbilts in Newport RI, that home was 135,000 square feet, also just as amazing, here is a few pictures of it.

Thanks for the kind words! Just got back from a night out in it! Still coming off my Z high.

RonVette2: Thanks for the great pictures, that place looks incredible also. Maybe one day, the wife and I will get to go visit it.

verskel: You'll love the Z, you probably already do!! Yeah, I think it adds to the beauty of the Biltmore! It's just another average house without it.

Once again, thanks for the warm welcomes!!
