Default Howdy from Iraq

I have been seperated from my 2003 Z06 since last December, except for an 18 day interlude in May/June. I am a Bradley Fighting Vehicle Mechanic, and I have been in the U.S. Army for over 20 years. I used to have a 67 BB Coupe but sold it to buy the Z. My only upgrades have been to put some Lowe's duct insulation in the back to deaden the sound a little, and a C6 Z06 shifter. I plan on headers, a cam, and cold air intake when I return.
God Bless
Steve
