Default Its good to be back.

Its been three long years since my last corvette,a torch red 97. Had to sell because the wife said to many cars in the family. So I sold it to a good friend of mine and a fellow cf member.I then got rid of my g35 sedan because my lease was up so I bought a 2006 300c. I liked the car but not enough power.Six months later I bought a 2006 300c srt8. But once the corvette gets into your blood there's no turning back. Fast forward three years. Still got the srt8 but bought this beautiful 2002 Millennium yellow zo6 with a maggie on it and a host of other mods to numerous to mention. Alot of cf members will recognize this car because it was for sale on this forum.I bought it from fellow forum member Ron Landry.One heck of a guy.We talked many times on the phone before I bought it.It's very hard to purchase a car from just looking at pictures on the internet, but he was right on how pristine the car was.I couldn't of gotten a better car from a nicer cf member. Kudos to you Ron. Love the car alot! Here are some pictures of the vette and the srt in the background. O by the way the wife thinks I have to many cars again. TOOOOO BAD![IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

Yeah guys it is glad to be back in the saddle again. Been to long and will not be "vette less" again. It's been a passion of mine for so many years. Cant't count the times I've seen a vette pass me on the road wishing I had one again. Good times are hear again! Can't wait for spring.
