Yup, it was at Jack's.

Thanks to everyone for the congrats and comps. I'm looking forward to having it and sharing good times with you all. I'm hopimg it will be here by then, but who really knows.
If it's not I'll be bringing the C5 again. we'll just have to suffer through it.

I'm game on wherever you guys decide on.

" BTW, What year is it?"
Oops, I missed this part. It's a 2009.

Scum: You should try to make it up for the Coffee deal, if you're interested in the air races. Easy for us to say, living right here.

Thanks again for the comps guys.

2009, very nice! The later models have a few improvements (not that all the years of Z06's aren't awesome, they are!) that will only help in the enjoyment of this fine car! Hope you have a ton of fun with it.

Yup, a better trans and bluetooth along with few other improvements.

In my toy box, the Toyota 4X4 will be leaving, making room for the Z06 soon. Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Im thinking about getting my wife one to replace her H/C C5. Waiting for the price to come down a little more when the C7Z06s hit the streets
