Newbie Vette fever...
I’m sure it’s been done in spades, but I just had to share my excitement,,,
BTW, great forum!
I’m sitting at the bar with my pal who says,
“Hey, can I borrow your truck for the weekend?”
“Sure, give me a ride home and take it with you..”
Throwing keys at me…”Take my Z06 for the weekend; put some miles on it…”
Um…”Ok, twist my arm…..”
After cruising around during a sunny perfect weekend, showing off, trying to convince the neighbors that it was mine, (a few undisclosed performance tests) and otherwise answering stupid questions at the gas pump like, “I had a C5 in the 60’s like that…bla bla bla.., you know yours has a dent in the roof?.....”
I reluctantly returned my friends car, who then says…
“How’d you like it?”
“Awesome!”
“Nice, wanna buy it?”
“Yeah…sure….”
“Seriously, how about ($$$$)?”
“Did you recently pound your face on a rock and lose all reasonable thought?”
“Just keep it quiet…”
I went to my truck, got out my check book, wrote him a check, and took the car.
He didn’t tell me he just bought a new AMG, which is really nice, but I’ll take the Z any day (this dude is loaded, with more toys for seasoned boys than I’ve ever seen…..)
I love this car. Been looking for a frame off restore project for more than 10 years to work on with my son, but we just get in this car and drive, and it’s a blast! And with my addictive personality, there’s soon to be a C6 next to it…..
Thanks Chuck!!! Can you find me a good boat deal too??
Once again, great forum!!


Now- just wait till the mod bug hits you...

Grate story and enjoy it.
Good luck on the C6,

Priorites...He should have bought the AMG for a DD, and bought a 350 or 3500 series deisal <sp>, to pull his boat with and pull his car trailer that he haules his Z in for the track.









Welcome to the forum!









Congrats.
