Default Hello from North Carolina

Long time Hot Rodder & motorcycle enthusiast. Lifelong mechanic. Presently... all I own are Corvettes and Harleys. 2 of each. My most recent purchase is a C5 Z06. My 69 is an ongoing project. I’m looking forward to all future interactions on the site!

Thank you!
Kevin

Welcome from another NC (Concord) member!

Congrats on your Z06. I just recently picked up my 2004 Z06. I've owned 4 other Corvettes over the years, and this Z06 is the most "thrilling" to drive!

Come on over to the C5 section and post up some pics in the Z06 picture thread!
