Awesome. Looks strikingly familiar to a MY Z06 sitting in my driveway. Way to go Jay. Such a down to earth guy really, when you get him away from Hollywood.

He's on the forum. I forget the name he goes by. But, I'm sure he'll appreciate your comments. Well, the positive ones anyway.

I don't care what the guy's politics are, I like the fact that he knows how to enjoy life the same as any of us, through his love of cars. He's an enthusiast, not just another rich guy with a hundred cars that rarely get driven or enjoyed.

That's awesome that he's on here, though it's probably good that we don't know his forum name...let him just be "one of the guys" so to speak..

The battery cover with the tray isn't made anymore. I forgot the company that did make it but it's in a couple other posts about that video. It's cool to see he's into Corvettes. He shows up to some of the local weekly car shows in the area. I hope I see him around sometime.

Doesn't sound like he is abiding by too many laws in that video
