That looks like a sharp one. I used to live about 10 miles from your town. Can't find pizza like that area it anywhere else.

Congrats on the new Corvette! I also just bought a C6 with the Z51 package, but convertible! It’s not so easy with all the construction on I-90, but jumping on the highway is an amazing feeling!!!
