Fun and dependable car. However, as a daily driver the bigest problem I had was rain. A lot of the cars leak water at the a or b pillar or both. Mine is a 04 with only 15,000 miles and my passenger side window leaked. I had to replace the window molding and use a lot of sealant to get it water tight again. Take a look at previouse threads and you will see this is common.

I use my '02 as a DD and LOVE it. It was in a carshow (Corvettes at Waterside) today, then drove straight to the grocery store and picked up a week's worth of groceries, drove home in the rain, and did it all with a big grin! I love this car!

Do your research, find the right one and pull the trigger. Whoever said "You can't buy happiness" obviously never owned a Z06!

redls1gto: What grocery store did you stop at? Seems like you picked up a few more items then just milk and eggs
