Default New, kinda

I was a member several years ago but was inactive (just read an used the how to's). I decided to go all the way this time. I have had and currently own seven vettes, My first was a 1969 coupe that I bought while a young man in the Navy; a dream come true. A 1995, 2002, 2003 Z06 and 2014 followed I currently own two C-5's, a 1999 Sebring Silver base and a 2004 Z06 CE Z16. I bought the 99 several years ago, the car was high millage and needed work. The coupe is now in pretty good condition after sucking up lots of money. I bought the Z about a year ago with 4,700 miles. I changed the tires and fluids and did the gas tank repair. I also added halo tail lights, ACA headlights and a double din head unit. After the upgrades my wife and I drove to Seattle picking up the Black Hills Corvette Classic, Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower and Spear

Just pick up the Z, only 4,700 miles in 2018.

Drive through redwood in north CA

Beautiful Utah
fish Canyon on the way. After we drove to Estes Park, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite and San Francisco. We stopped on the way to check out the Sequoya and Redwood trees. After San Fran drove the coast through Oregon to Washington. On the way home we stopped at Yellowstone for a few days. Epic trip over five weeks and 11,000 miles. No problems only went in for an oil change in Bosie. New England this year.

Thanks to all. Looking forward to Vettes for Vets and Talladega. We have run parade laps at Daytona and hot laps at Atlanta one more NASCAR track will be great. Traveling on to the great northeast after that.
