Hi everyone,

Like the title says I'm on my third corvette and I'm a new member. I've always browsed around on this website but figured its time to join. My first Vette was a 84 that I loved but I eventually went away from the C4 and into a few F bodies, most notably a 2002 TA that I did some work too . I eventually stepped up into a 2003 Z06 and sold it due to a ex wife. But after a few years of family sedan driving I finally have rejoined the Corvette club again. I purchased a 2004 Z06 back in September and love it. Her name is Scarlett which I think suites her well. So far she has a SLP loudmouth exhaust and a Intake installed from the previous owner. I've got a few plans for her but mostly cosmetic for the time being. Hawaii doesn't have many places to open her up.


Just a few things about me:
I'm a air traffic controller for the USN and am married with 2 little girls. I love my country, God, family, and the Denver Broncos! I'm from Texas but that doesn't make me a cowboys fan by default.

But anyways, thank you all in advance for advice and entertaining post. And glad to be a member .

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Z06! Glad that you've been enjoying it. Do your little girls like to ride in Scarlett?

Thank you all. Well my littlest one is still in a car seat and the oldest keeps calling it a mustang , her step dad has one. I'm still trying to convince her it's much cooler than a mustang.
