Default Picked up yesterday

After many months of searching I finally found the right one, an '09 3LT Z51 with 44K on the clock. A one owner car bought, serviced and traded in to the same dealer, a two hour ride home was awesome although I was a little nervous when the temps dropped into the low 30's for part of it.

Good deal for you. Yes - a light touch when it's 30's on the summer tires.

Thanks everyone, yeah the dealer sticker will be the first to go. Not exactly sold on the rims want something chrome I especially like the GS version.

3LT, Z51. Enough said. Congrats! Make sure it is pointed straight the first time you do a 15-20 mph stab on the gas...I was used to the C4, and I pooped a little as stuff from the front counsel flew toward the back window!
