Hello all, Scott from Southwest Florida. (Naples) Never owned a 'vette...YET. I am now into the 60's muscle car scene. I am planning on selling my current ride and purchasing a low mileage, used 06-07 Z-06. I think it will hurt to get rid of my baby, but I am super excited and looking forward to joining the Corvette club. I really want a performance 'super' car that I could take on long, cross country cruises as well as drive daily if needed.
Here are a few pics of my current ride:

Thanks all. Thank you for the kind welcome and compliments. I just got home from the local Chevy dealer. Looked at new 07-08 Z06's. I had to wet my whistle! I think I fell in love... what an awesome machine. I can't wait to drive one!!!
Sooo, if you can't tell yet, I like to post pics, here are a few of me with my future (hopefully soon) car:

Hi Scott. Welcome to the forum!
You have a severe case of Corvette Fever for which there is no known cure. About the only thing you can do the make yourself feel better is to have a Corvette! Good luck in your search for a Z06.

Aloha Scott, awesome Chevy II, I would definitely figure out a way to keep it and get that ZO6. Don't have to tell you to post pictures, as you are a pro at that. Just remember when you do get your Z, to wave at other Vette owners.
