IMHO, this is how a 'Vette is supposed to look. It looks as though it was driven. It is so cool of a car that it doesn't have to be spotless to look fantastic.

Awesome!

I flew from TX to KY and drove home the same day in my Z. 1,600 mile round trip in one day!! 6 months later I still can't believe it's mine.

Have fun and be safe.

But, thought I would share my happiness and can now start conversing with all you members. cheers!

well worth every mile!!

Congrats on getting the Z06. Driving it back that far sure gave you an opportunity to get comfortable with it.
