Thanks, I've always been a red fan, especially Torch Red and that's what I was looking for. Stumbled on this car , 2015 with 4K miles and decided to pull the trigger. Silver shows off the body lines very well. Pleased with the decision.

I had a 2001 Z06 Silver, I always loved the way the black accents showed so nice. That’s they way to by them low miles. I bought my 2017 in 2017 with 1200 miles, was a bank repo and only owned 5 months.

Got a Screw in my tire! Hope it can be repaired, as it is on the outer area of the tire.

@joemessman it looks like a self tapping sheet metal screw which is very short. I would spray it with soapy water and see if it leaks. If it does, it is far enough away from the shoulder that Discount Tire would be able to repair it.

Did one other thing with the Z today. I used the QJ to raise the car and check the clamp connections on the exhaust system. Tightened one just a bit but no leaks, unlike the stock clamps which always leaked a small drip. AWE X pipe to the stock exhaust. These clamps are great. Once you get them in place and tightened down they do not leak. Notice how tightly they conform from the 3" X pipe to the 2-3/4" stock pipe. Available from several sources, pretty sure these were from Amazon.

I like the design of that clamp. I appears that the step in the clamp might be what prevents the dripping.
I used pipe sealant on my exhasut. For the first couple of weeks the joints between the mufflers & the over-axle pipes dripped. After that, the dripping stopped. I'm assuming that soot built up in the gaps in the sealant & plugged the leaks.

I keep thinking about getting the Weathertech trunk cargo organizer thing for just this reason, but I can never get past the thought.

I hate stuff sliding around, and I use the car to pick up all kinds of stuff, with all that cargo room, why not? Last week went to pick up a Christmas wreath, had to tarp the back. I take it to get groceries all the time. Once, I had a rotisserie chicken leak. It took me a while to get the mat clean and the smell out.

Ha, to be honest, it wasn’t that good. I was bit disappointed. Kind of like a typical stadium frank. Barely any toppings. Fun drive though. Lots of back roads on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River. Crossed back over to Jersey where Hot Dog Johnny’s is. 200 was round trip. I just bought an Endurance warranty three weeks ago and have to hit 1000 miles for it to become active. Today I hit 922!.

The enjoyment of the drive is worth a bad hot dog.
