Default New member intro

Hi guys. New member and first time Vette owner from CT.
Picked up a 2012 ZO6 last week at Les Stanford, Detroit area.
Great guys, see Cory.
It was worth the 1500 mi round trip with trailer.

Super clean with 1803 miles on the odo.
Supersonic Blue, black LZ1 interior.

I've been in a lot of Vette's and on track in most of those rides. Always been a fan and impressed by the car.
Sold my previous toy and am really happy with this purchase.
I trolled here a lot over the last month and the forum was invaluable helping me learn and narrow my choices down.

Easier than the ride out with blowing snow for 4 hours of the 12.
Guessed on where to load the car, well, did some numbers to make an educated guess based upon the WB and CG of last car. Trailer seemed to ride well and the roads home were mostly dry, if not completely covered in white salt.
So glad I didn't drive the car home. Nasty.

Oh my,

Well better weather will come before you know it! I'm sure you'll drive it as much as you can then.
