I got the SX. The SXL has daytime running lights, chrome fittings, heated steering wheel, push button parking break and a first aid kit. I didn't want to spend $5k more for that.

Totally a second car. I test drive an 03 Z06 today for $23k so I'm gonna sleep on it. But I'm so excited to almost be back!

I Was looking at the picture of your old car, and I really liked the wheels. I have a black convertible and was thinking my car should look like that. What kind of tires and wheels are on the car in the picture?

My 03 came with Wagon wheels and the tires are getting to have that not so fresh feeling. That's why I ask.
