Greetings all, first-time Vette owner largely due to this Forum. I joined in May of this year and have been reading almost daily. Thanks to Ricco, whose reputation as a trusted Forum member was well-established when I answered his FS ad about a month ago. He answered all my questions and was a pleasure to deal with; as a result I now own a beeeeautiful and obviously well-cared-for '02 EB Z06.

It took a while to get it through the federal and provincial inspection procedures, mostly due to not wanting to take it out during our typical BC fall weather (rain, then more rain followed by rain) but the car is now on the road and enjoying a few sunny days before going into the garage for the winter.

My plan is to leave it stock except for skip-shift elim, brakelight pulser, front skid plates and trunk-popper, all previously installed. I enjoy checking out all the mods on this Forum and marvel at the results, but I'm the sort of guy who sold his '72 Z28 with the cast iron exhaust manifolds still on the car.

Best regards to all and I look forward to participating more in the future!

Kane Rogers
Steveston, BC

You were the fortunate one! Everyone else who passed on the deal really missed out on a creme puff Z06.

Enjoy the car!
