Default Back in a Corvette - C5Z this time!
Sold my C4 ZR-1 back in 2012, had a few Corvettes prior to that, including an '01 Z51 vert, but I just picked up a super nice 2004 Z06/Z16 with some mild mods on it. 75K miles but that's going to go up quickly since I'll be commuting >100 miles a day in it.

Very nice. I use mine as a dd/commuter. Fills the role perfectly and I don't have to drive everyone @ lunch!

Congrats! Interestingly, I sold my 2001 convertible a few years ago and while I had a couple more old cars in the interim I'm now back with a C5Z as well.
