Default Back in a Corvette

I just bought a gorgeous Monterrey red metallic 2007 M6 Z51 car. It has the camel interior, only 30k miles, and to top it off it has a Maggie blower and long tubes. I'll add pictures when I get back home from Reno.

Hope your mom is improving.

Where are you living, or going to live, in NV. I've lived at Lake Tahoe, Carson City, and now Las Vegas. What a great state to live in, in my opinion. I certainly prefer northern to southern, but anywhere in NV is better than CA, again, only my opinion.

Smog test in NV will be a visual to see that smog equipment is in place, and a readout from under the dash to see that your levels are in compliance. Very simple.

Good luck with the new car. I look forward to seeing the pics.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone! She's doing better and I'll be headed to my g/f's in Fremont tonight. I need to wash it in the morning and cranks it up about an inch - it's sitting too low. I also got the Billy Boat over axle stuff replaced to day with Z06 NPP's so now it's not a screaming banshee anymore - thank God!

After it's washed up I'll snap some pics and post them.
