Happy to add a 2019 Corvette Z06 to the garage. Thanks to Rick Conti at Coughlin Chevrolet for a good deal on the car I wanted; and Pilot Transport driver, Jim, for delivering it to my driveway. Unfortunately, won't be able to really enjoy it until next Spring... We had 70s and sunshine yesterday; Today it's in the 20s with snow flurries! In the meantime, she's tucked-in under the Shelby for their long winter naps.















Looks like some new/additional garage art is in order.

Congratulations! I love the color. I'm putting mine away for the winter this morning. Received a text from my sister who lives in Peyton, CO a little while ago. She doesn't have work today because of snow.

I don't know how you guys can go all winter without driving these things
I just got snow tires, I plan on driving it all winter
not in actual snow but most of the time here the roads are clear, it's just cold

It's not easy but, in addition to the cold weather and precipitation, the roads get all buggered-up with sand and mag chloride. I prefer to keep the nice cars safe and clean in the garage.

Congrats! My '19 ELBM Z06 also came from Coughlin but I only live five minutes away from one of their stores. I prepped mine for winter storage on Saturday.

Thanks! The M7 was a MUST HAVE for me, as I'm allergic to driving anything with less than three pedals...

Norton!! Congrats on the new Z06 (and welcome to the dark side, LOL). Always good to get more SVTP guys on this forum.

Rick Conti and Pilot Transportation- a terrific combination. I have bought 2 cars from Rick, shipped one of them because spring was a bit late arriving.

I know some of the subscribers don't care for his vlog, but I love it. When I first thought about getting a C7 his vlog explaining the allocation process was mint.

Congrats-it's a shame you can't take her out now. I hope you guys get another few days of warmer weather before the hard Winter sets in.

These cars LOVE cold air. Hopefully you can sneek it out a time or 2. My 19 ZR1 likes it as well, but my Z06 seems to really go nuts wen it's below 35-40 degrees or lower. I guess I'm spinning the smaller blower a lot more than I really should and my ZR1 is bone stock and has a much larger blower that doesn't seem to heat soak quite as bad as my Z06 does.
