Default Z06 Sighting - Austin, TX. You won't believe it!

So I live in Austin Tx... Heading (down Hwy 183) back to work from lunch and sure enough I see a brand new Torch red Z06.

I see it turn on to the frontage road, so I slow down on the highway to get a good look..

By now I am driving approx. 50 mph in 65 mph zone...

and finally I see the car and low and behold....(see photos) look who is driving but a little old lady..

She is driving 45 mph on the hwy while i snap off a few iPhone photos.

I had my oil changed at the dealer here in Austin last month and the service manager told me about the red Z06 they had and how an old lady came in and bought it. She was coming from a ZR1! The story now is so much funnier seeing how far up that seat is!!

That aero package of the Z07 comes in real handy when she is racing into the Luby's parking lot at 4:00 for dinner. I hope nobody confuses her oxygen tank sitting in the passenger seat as nitrous!
