WOW, not really my cup of tea, but very impressive results. Really changes things, doesn't it.

LOL....did you get in with the cover on?
That's a lot of red! Looks orangy in these, but I've seen your other photos and know it's actually red.

I'm gonna really enjoy selling this car to it's new owner when that time comes. Whoever ends up with it is going to love it! I know my over riding urge to get a Carbon Fiber Z06 edition is going to win out in the near future.
