Default Hello from Virginia

Hey there. I've been scanning this forum since I first got my C7 back in 2020. Crazy amounts of knowledge in these threads for sure.

I have a long beach red 2017 a8 z06 3lz with spice red interior.

A few things done are ported blower, throttle body, intake, exhaust, and then tuned.

Cosmetic list is endless.

Car is built for local shows and the cars/coffee events.

Haven't even hit 18,500 miles yet and it is a 2017.

it's my favorite car of all time thus far, buttttt I just drove my friend's C8 Z06 and that thing was insane. So, i'd love to keep this c7 and also get a c8 at some point down the road.

I have my social medias up in my "biography" section if anyone would like to see my vehicle videos and pictures. and see the crazy car scene in my area.

yt: hardparked703 ig: doyoueven_eatbro

I film local events and well...tons of money in the D.C. area soooo newly released exotic models are as common as civics here in my neck of the woods. It's nice to get the camera out and film some of those vehicle up close.

Anyways, i just love cars and well the corvette community is super chill so decided to make an account so I could converse with some of you.

Excited to finally be able to comment on threads lol.

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C7!
We used to live in NoVA and in DC proper many years ago. Miss some of the things to do, but do not miss the weather or traffic.
Know what you mean about the car scene. Our kids had an exotic car dealer across the street from their school and enjoyed the many different collectibles they would have.
