I thought you had a vinyl flag on the side of your vette at first.

I got Same exact set up. Except my vette is Laguna blue. I feel good supporting both major American car companies! Spread the dollars, spread the love.

Perfect combo, a vett and a truck. Had my silverado pick-up since 2012. Its reliability made me a chevy customer for the foreseeable future. Most of the American manufacturers have really raised their game lately. And for the money, you can't get better than the C7 in any model.

I trade pickups every year and have owned Chevy and GMC and both have great trucks but I love the ride and feel of the Ford F150. The V8 in the Ford has great power.

Had several pickups and suv's. Due to my s/o's back issues they are gone. Sadly, I fear that the Z06 may be next as my lower back is now starting to give me issues. O/p, enjoy your rides, they are both great.

Two very nice black beauties you have. Black is beautiful when they look like your's, but as I have gotten older I just don't have the gumption to keep it clean anymore.


Never would of thought that many of us would have the same pairing either.
