Default New Vette Owner!!!!!

It was a sad, yet joyous day for me today. I dropped off my GTO and picked up my z06. I really did enjoy the GTO during the time I had it, but always wanted a corvette. It is a red 2002 z06 with 36000 miles. I live in Montana and had to take a 1000 mile trip to Utah back and forth to pick up the car, and that was in two days! I am just beat. But, thought I would share my happiness and can now start conversing with all you members. cheers!

Welcome to the Forum!
Nothing quite like a 1000 mile trip to get to know your new Vette!
Sounds like an awesome new ride-be sure to post up some pics when you get a chance -we wanna see it!

How many rice burners or rustangs "tried" to race you or do fly bys on the trip? Be honest and tell us the truth...(ok, ok, We know you beat them all...but we just love to hear the stories)!

I am fairly new here myself, and you will not find a better group of guys on here to answer your questions both on and off topic.

Cheers and enjoy that z06!

and...DONT forget the wave
