Another QS hits the road....
Special thanks to Rob, Missy & Cindee @ Apple Chevrolet in Red Lion, PA for a great buying experience, even when my arrival was delayed and they had to stay late to wrap things up. Also, the car was very nicely detailed.
Brought it home Thursday, leaving the dealer just as night fell. 130 miles of smiles cruising up Interstate 81 under the stars in very light traffic - definitely a high point of the year with The Stones, Journey, and Thorogood along for the ride. Wrapped up with Brooks and Dunn as I got close to home... couldn't get much better.
Washed it a couple times since then; far more pleased with the paint and body fit than I'd expected to be. Interior is very tight; nothing but tire hum. Love the DI Center - it's cool how the digital and analog gauges seem to jive extremely well. Got it up on ramps to roll around underneath checking things out - lots of very cool stuff under there!
Hello and regards to all,
Jeff

Re: Another QS hits the road.... (rutiger)
Thanks muchly for the help. I think I got it straightened out...
As a Ford guy this car was a big leap. So far my Ford buds are all :thumbs: . I encouraged them to check out the front of the car now, since they can see the rear any time at all... :D

Re: Another QS hits the road.... (NealB)
Unfortunately I just 'modified' the house with a new Pennsylvania House dining room set for the wife, so the mods may have to wait a little... I have two mustangs - one s/c'd, the other N2O'd - so I guess I do have that tendency...
Thanks for the hospitality, gang - it seems like a friendly place. Got to practice 'da wave' a coupla times, too...

Re: Another QS hits the road.... (NEPA_Z)
Hey NEPA_Z Welcome to the Z world. I'm not too far from you NE PA myself and my Z06 looks just like yours. I got mine in December so I just looked at it in the garage until recently. I love the beast and I am sure you will too. Maybe I will see you around someday on 81 dodge'n the pot holes at a high rate speed. Good luck with her :D

Re: Another QS hits the road....
Looking good man and I must say that you have good taste in color choice :smash:
I just hope you got the mod red int :cheers:
Here are some pics of mine right when I got it.

Since then I took the BSMs off and put Chromies and euro lights on.
Here are some pics that I just dumped online really quick with the chromies.

BTW red reflective lettering on the back and black on the front really looks like it should have been there from the start and the red/white euros look awesome on the QS as well.
Good luck with it. :thumbs:

Re: Another QS hits the road.... (**** Finger)
Hey guys looks like lots of SILVER in PA. No mod red here, all black inside. There's a red / mod red a couple of miles from me, very nice! but don't see too many around. Yours looks exxxcellent. That Grand Prix is a runner, too - love that Buick motor.
Cool pics of the February blizzard. I just ran the gas out of the snowblower the other day, so look out we might get hit again :rolleyes:
