What’s up everyone! Just picked up an 08 C6Z about a month ago and I love this car!

I am am out of Montana but I was in the service for 8 years Amanda originally hale from California. Joined to get out of Cali and got stationed there twice! Grrrrrrr.

I am a Nurse now and starting to get back into the groove of life. It’s taken some time but I’m definitely on the way to being much more grounded and happier. I am an Iraqi combat vet and served from 98-06.

Anywho, I have a velocity yellow 08 C6Z which is quite slower than my 2000 Camaro but man, this car handles like a jet on the corners! I also have an 07 TBSS. I LOVE ME SOME LS STUFF! looking forward to seeing what these cars have to offer (even though I kind of already know). Looking forward to conversing with the community.

Cheers!
Dan
