Awesome KathyM! Merry Xmas. I'll bet you won't forget this year and present for a long, long time..

I bought myself a 2016 Z51, Night Race Blue as an early retirement gift from Kerbeck on December 18th. Drove it back home (357 miles) to Pittsburgh and loved every minute of it. The weather hear in Pittsburgh is crazy warm and on Xmas Eve I found myself cruising around town with the top down and sun shinning bright!..

Enjoy your new ride!

Thanks all! I really do love it! Kuz- what a beauty- we missed each other by one day at Kerbecks! (Great experience there)- drive home was not so nice- normal 4 hour ride was a 6 hour ride home in heavy nyc traffic to connecticut! Top speed 20mph! But having fun now! Fcatroneo- congrats and good luck!

So funny!... Actually we got there on the 17th, but it was raining so much we decided not to take delivery until Friday, 18th. We went over to the hotel (Caesar's) and had a good dinner at Niro's and played some slots (didn't win what I paid for the Vette) and then drove home to Pittsburgh.. We witnessed all four seasons on the ride home. Started in AC with 50+ and then Rain in Philly and then Snow and 27 Degrees in the mountains in central PA!...

What a ride! Had plenty of opportunities to open it up (but had to keep it under 4,500RPMs).. I brought a SD storage card and taped several short clips... It was a real rush!

Can't wait until Spring to drive it again!

Enjoy your awesome Z06 KathyM... White was my second choice, love it!

Happy New Year!

Welcome!

I enjoyed the back-story...my wife surprised me with a new 1994 C4 for Christmas and I will always remember the excitement (and the pleasure my received making it all happen).
