Default Back in the Fold

I finally managed to sell my Porsche without taking a total bath on it (more of a shower, really ). Then it was right to Boardwalk Chevy to get the 09 Blade Silver one I've had my eye on.

I can't wait until it finishes breaking in to have some real fun with it.

I've noticed the chin spoiler is a major pain: It seems to bottom out everywhere, I can't get out of my driveway without scrubbing it, even with Griot's driveway curb bridge! Good thing it's plastic. I had it in my head the Z06 had better clearance than the 997S (my C5Z did). Oh well, I can live with that for the smiles per mile I get out of it.

It's good to be back.

**Edit: Whoops! Ended up in the wrong place. Sorry! **
