Default Finally back!!!
Well Family, its been a few years and many life events since i was last here. I sold my 08 Atomic Orange Z06 back in 2012 and had to take care of some things and have some patience with life changes. Im happy to say I'm finally back in a Corvette. Purchased a 2017 Black/Carbon Flash Z06 on the 23rd and couldn't be happier.
