Default Gotta Love it.............

Had an opportunity to help a fellow member today. He was looking at a 2004 Comm. Z06 about a hour and a half away from me. He lives about 10 hours away so I went down to look at the car for him. I get blessed three different ways here, I get to help a fellow vettelover, get to drive mine on a wonderful day and get to test drive that SWEET Z06. Don't know if it can get any better..............

Good for you. I did the same thing over the weekend. Looking at a C6 here in So-Cal for a fellow member in VA. Kinda makes you feel good.

Got to say it. Wish I joined years ago even though I didn't own a vett. Enjoy reading and learning from all of you. When I was looking to buy most were a plane trip away and made it very difficult. While most aren't looking to buy way up North - if I can ever be of help don't hesitate.

I've done that

Its really one of those win win situations you rarely come across. Get to drive mine on a nice ride about an hour or so from home, took a bunch of pics of the car for sale, and a nice test drive.

Quick report and pics to buyer via email that night, he was very appreciative.

Everybody wins






Hell, weather is crappy now but if anyone needs one looked at around NY when the weather gets a little better, PM me, Ill see what I can do
