I finally dropped the hammer and purchased a 2008 Z06 after selling my 2008 LS3. I cannot wait and probably will not sleep tonight as it will be delivered to my front door tomorrow 7/28/09. I hope this does not turn out to be a disappointment. I have wanted this car for a long time. Now the want has become a reality. Its a 2008 2LZ with 11k miles.

WOW!! Just got the car off of the trailer at my house. Car looks even better in person. There's only 1 problem! Its raining like crazy, so I was only able to drive it 50 feet into my garage. Until the rain stops, its gonna have to set there. I can't wait!! I'll update everyone on my first Z06 driving experience!

Later
