Sweet looking ride! Enjoy the next few days of sun here in Texas, and look for a club in your area. They are great places to find out about drives and road trips with other enthusiast! 😊

Congrats on the Z! She looks like a beaut. Nothing beats a well maintained and modified Z for your first Vette. Keep that traction control on and keep her shiny side up.
