Default Drove it home today.
I am now officially an owner. Bought an 02 QS Z today. 8700 miles, stock w/mod red interior, and drove it home 300+ miles, what a treat. Wow, are these cars fast.

Thanks to all of those here who helped me, both directly, and indirectly. Can't wait to get started on it!

Thanks,

Jerry

PS, pics to come shortly. It's night here, and very dark

Great color combo. I love the mod red interior. That was my first choice for interior color, I just did not come across it when I was looking for my vette. Congrats on the new vette.

Nice. How much did it cost you? I'm about ready to upgrade to a C6 Z06 and I'm wondering how much I can get for my 10,000 mile stock 2002.
