Advice? Don't post a pic of it until you lower it...otherwise your car will be called a 4x4.

Got mine yesterday as well. I've been getting some ugly looks from people and some thumbs up from others.
I guess 26 is too young to own a Z06 for some.

They were probably suprised you weren't in a Mustang.
Personally I think both of you are going to have a blast with your new toys! I would encourage you both, even if it's just one time, to take your car to a track day event so you can experience the full performance capability of your Z.
Have fun & welcome!

Congrats! I too recently purchased a Z06 T-red,M-red 04. I'm 58, to old, probably, but driving this car at the limits will help keep me regular! Enjoy life, it too goes fast!
