Long time lurker, and grateful for the forum. Wanted to finally throw my hat in the ring, as I am actively seeking a C5/C6 ZO6 now. I live in greatest little state in the union (RI for the geographically challenged), and am an active duty Navy Mustang (started in '91 and still considering making it a career;-))... Already so thankful for all of the insights, and look forward to interacting with y'all.

Have owned bikes (MX, Sport, and Harleys), trucks (classics, 4x, and mini), and have been dragging my a$$ on a custom chop for a few years... For now it is just an F150 and Ranger in the stable... hunt, fish, hike, school, work... normal life stuff.

@Route99 Thanks for the welcome, and the decision is tough, because there are SOOOOO many good ZO6 options out there right now! Hopefully I can avoid analysis paralysis...

@ledger35 I always had a spot in my heart for those years of Sting Rays like yours... The slots are perfect for that car! Cheers!
