Default I bought my Dad a new Z06.

I had wanted to do this for a long time! Finally the opportunity presented itself to get on for him. Here's his reaction!

Congrats to your dad! Enjoy you parents while you have them. Wish my dad were still around to treat him to something that he would never buy for himself.

I must admit that the title of this post drew me in but what really caught my attention was the fact that you live about 20 minutes from me. Awesome shop you guys have.

If you and your dad have a chance, stop by one morning to the cars & coffee in Folsom.

Awesome, extremely cool, great job!!!

My Father In Law and I are best friends, we talk daily, we both love Vettes, we both had C6 Z's now we both have C7 Z's, it's a lot of fun hanging out and driving with him. We both went to Spring Mountain last Friday & Saturday, had an awesome time together making memories with these cars!!!
