Picked up the Z06 from storage today; it's home for the season....also mounted my personalized plates that arrived shortly after I bought the car but it was already in storage by then.

Needs a wash/wax but too cold for that today. Need some window tint as well and I already have the mamo ported TB, Borla X-pipe and Oracle LED sidemarkers to go on it this weekend. Grabbed a low profile extended reach trolley jack for it today too.

Beautiful C7, but you got some dirty outer pipes there. Enjoy it, I took my GS for a LONG ride yesterday. These are great sportscars.

At least it's out, and getting some fresh air. Hopefully the weather will get better, and you can get her on the road soon. BTW, it's a beauty.

One of the better vanity plates, it's unique and most people get it right away.

And I wake up this morning to a fine layer of snow. Had no choice but to drive the Z06 to work because I left the Charger at the storage place.

Like the plates....
Now, tell me the significance of the numbered plates above the garage doors? Do you have assigned spaces there?

It's a townhouse complex and those are the unit numbers.

OK gotcha....
Too bad on the snow....anyway have fun in "W" mode!
Enjoy the weekend, great mods on tap for you! I just did my Borla this past weekend after picking up a low profile jack. Took awhile to get everything up but had plenty of room to get under there.

It was a brutal stretch of cold and snowy weather here for us the past two months but it's finally Corvette driving weather again! I brought mine out of slumber a week ago and have already driven it over 200 km and am hopeful it'll go into semi daily driver status real soon, I'm getting tired of driving my POS 2006 Civic to work!
