Pictures are mandatory for newbies

Congrats, enjoy and be careful with cold tires, especially if they are the original GY F1 Supercars.

How about a Grand Slam !
Congrats.

I have had on 01 since mid November, every time I take it out, which is often, I am like a little kid, and trust me, I am not a little kid !

I just came back from Lowes with a bag of Sand !

This is the best Corvette I have ever owned or driven, it's a 12 on the fun meter and the scale only goes to 10 .

So, you have hit more home runs and grand slams since you started taking the this Z06 stuff? George Mitchell, Bud Selig and congress may be calling you in for a sit down! You might consider seeking legal counsel...

Congrats!! I just joined the C5Z club last week myself with an '03 and 21k miles on it! Except mine is 3000 miles away until the Alaskan winter subsides, but hopefully you can enjoy yours daily!
