Group photo.
Posting a pic of me and my first Vette. It was a 2001 Z06 with red interior.
The pic was taken in front of the Biltmore in Asheville NC about 20 years ago.
I found the group photo from that day.

So that's a pic of you from 20 years ago? Has the car changed any since then?

What does it look like today, and what changes over 20 years were made to go faster!

That was a nice ride - sometimes it is cool to take a trip down memory lane.
