Just saying hi. Good looking site you have here.
Just lost my '96 CE to an idiot driver. Rear ended and totaled. Had a nicely warmed over LT4 & 6 speed. Now I'm looking at a C5 Z06.
Other 'Vettes I previously owned were a '71 LS5 and a '97 Coupe.
Can't wait to get back in the saddle, and looking forward to sharing info and stories.

Thanks for the welcomes.
Yeah, losing the car was a bummer, especially after all the work & mods I did. But, it's just a car after all (can't believe I just said that). I had a few cuts and scrapes. I had my dogs with me, 2 Irish Wolfhound puppies.
If the day wasn't so nice, the top would have been on and they would have been in the back. Outcome wouldn't have been so good!
Anyway, I'm enjoying the search. I'll let you know what I come up with.

*Update*
I now have my Z06. Bought it from forum member Thomp.
Car is in very nice shape and well cared for, with some very nice mods.
Got to spend a nice afternoon with him going over the car and getting the transaction done. If you told me it could go as smooth as it did, I would have called you a liar, especially here in the sunshine state. Thomp is a great guy too.
Anyway I'll post some pics after I take them (rather than steal the ones he posted), sometime after the holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
