Default New Z06 Owner

I bought my first 'vette 10 months ago ('99 Artic White coupe). My wife and I who are in our 50's had so much fun we decided we really wanted a new one. We didn't go looking for a Z06, but after driving a new Z06 CE, it was all over. What a car! I can't believe how much difference there is between the Z and the '99 coupe. Our local dealer gave us the same discount as the bigger internet dealers so we decided to go for it. Life is too short.

Picked up mine yesterday. No need to send pics, as it is the same car as yours.
I love mine. Good luck with yours.

Congratulations to a fellow Z'er. There's just something about a two place car that promotes togetherness! A great way for husband and wife to spend time together...cruisin' in the Z.

Enjoy your new car...it's a beaut!
