Default I'm Back!

I joined this forum back in 2004 while shopping for my first 2005 C6 Coupe. I learned so much picking out my first Corvette from this forum it really helped me save money and get what I wanted. I traded the 05 for a 08, had to get the new LS3 you know. And then a couple years later upped it to a ZO6. In 2011 I test drove a ZR1 with my daughter and she said, Dad you should change it up a little.
So off to the Porsche dealer. 911 turbo and no more Corvette.
I felt like I left a family. The Porsche was fun but traded it for a GT-R. It was cool but today I swapped it for a Brand new C7Z!
I got some pics, do you still have to do that /img/ thing? Oh well its black on black, ZL3. You know what they look like. So happy to back in the club!

Welcome back to the Corvette family and congrats on getting your C7 Z06. It is an awesome car. And yes, the IMG thing still works here for posting pics.

First, congratulations. Second, you still need to post photos of the Corvette. Otherwise, we might not believe you!! Okay, we do, but we love photos of Corvettes!

Congrats on the new ride.

Posting pix is much easier now than when you had to use photobucket or some such. You just click the little button that looks like a mountain, and you can upload directly from your computer.

Easy peasy, even from an iPad/iPod/iPhone from your saved pictures.

ZL3? Do you mean 3LZ (as in Z06)?
