Hey Terry welcome to the forum. Terry and I work together. I totally understand where you are coming from when you say you cannot stay out of the vette. They are great machines and are a blast to drive. Enjoy the new toy.

Hey i'm gonna be in Cleveland, TN this weekend with my motorcycle. It's gonna be nice and warm too.

Try taking it out to the Cherohala (sp?) Skyway up in Tellico. That is a seriously bad *** road.

Welcome, Terry. I have not driven my Z since December due to the overly snowy weather we have had here in New England this winter. I am really looking forward to Spring this year. Good luck with your car.
