Default I finally did it!!!!

I picked up my Silver 03' z this afternoon! I was lucky to find it just a few miles from my house at a local dealer with 6400 original miles! Still smells new! Interesting fact about the car is that it came out of Canada and has a Canadian Package which as I am told is a block heater and a Kilometers availaible in the dash as well as Celsius on the AC/Heater....Its been pretty rotten weather here in Maryland today, so hopefully It will dry up tomorrow for a ride! Next week it heads to Tony's Corvette Shop for a few light mods....Whew!!!! Finally!

John

Thanks everyone! I had the same car new in 03' and sold it because I needed a truck then got a 04' Comm Edition with an automatic and no Z51 and hated it.....I always regreted selling my 03', so I was pleased to find one with such low miles and close to home. I have been looking at the C6's, and not to take anything away from them, but I think the orignal ZO6 is the best they ever built.....I like the fact that it has a bit of "road feel" and a more race bred suspension that a regular C6......Oh and lets not forget the savings over the new ZO6! All great cars, but the 03 vintage is my personal favorite!
