Default Ready for number 2...

Hello!

My name is Tim and I hail from the beautiful desert of Phoenix AZ. I am a lover of GM sports cars and am currently on the hunt for my next vette. My first was a 2002 Z06 that I owned for a little over a year (not long enough) and I absolutely loved it!! A little history...my first car was an 85 camaro Z28, then I had a 93 Firebird Formula V8. I currently drive a crown vic that looks sort of like a cop car...and I am ready to move on... I bought it because it was big and cheap and still met the criteria of RWD + V8. I need to (would like to) get back into a sports car, and more specifically back into the best sports car IMHO. My vehicle history is a very natural life phase progression...which has been pretty awesome. I've already been through my mid-life crisis and I'm not even there yet!

I look forward to joining the Vette fam again soon. I am looking for a bright red (or black) M6 Z51/GS LS3 convertible (low $40's max)....here is my WTB post: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...vr-or-blk.html

And here are photos of my past and present rides...

Welcome to the forum Tim. My first brand new car was a 1991 Camaro RS 5-Speed, all black. Took delivery in Bremerhaven, Germany and didn't even know how to drive a stick. Haha. Since you are in Phoenix, I bet you enjoy Scottsdale Pavillions!!

Welcome to the forum and good luck finding your next Vette.

Hey Tim,

Welcome and good luck on your search! Thanks for posting the pictures. I would slow down if I saw you on the road, the Crown Vic gets me every time! We need to get you outta that and back into the Bowtie!

If there is anything I can do please let me know,
