Default Got my z06 Finally!

Well after 3 months of searching for the right car, right price, right everything! I finally have one.

2003 z06 Millennium Yellow which had 39k. Rolled it over to 40k after driving from Virginia to North Alabama! What a drive it was with these "SUPER CELLS!" rolling through. One tornado popped up 30 minutes after i passed through a place. Good thing i left a hour before i was planning to. Other than a crazy drive, it is amazing to drive a corvette let alone a z06. I will take pictures tomorrow after this crazy weather passes and i wash it+hand wax it. There is one imperfection on the car, a trim piece above the driver side door has a crack.

Currently the car has a full borla exhaust and a carpet on the dash. I will keep it stock for now other than tint for protection and 3m bra. I'm going to lsfest most likely, hope to meet some of yall.

EDIT: It is a 2 owner car, but really a 1 owner car due to the fact the second owner had it for maybe 2 months.

That cracked trim is very common. Mine cracked 4 years ago and it's tough to change. I don't eben notice it anymore...and congrats and enjoy!

Congratulations on your Z06 and hope you enjoy your vehicle for a long time!
We just put ours on the road last week after the long cold WNY winter and I still get the same ear to ear smile driving it as the first season!
Enjoy and have a safe driving season!

Well, here are some pictures. Sorry for the delay, had to drive 3 hours north to get power with my grandparents... waiting for the power to return back where the car is so i can get gas and leave to home. Wasn't able to vacuum the car or get wax n leather conditioner. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
