Hello from central Washington

I have a list of cars I have always wanted. A corvette was always one of them. Wasn't really in the market for one yet, but about a month ago I decided why not and started looking. Found a machine silver 08 C6 Z51 A6 3LT for a decent price and just bought it without much thought.

Come with a k&N filter that I am swapping out for a TKO and once black friday deals hit I will be looking at Corsa Extreme axle backs and morimoto headlights. Also going in for tint soon and will pick up a set of new tires before spring. Going to be a weekend/summer only toy as I have plenty of other vehicles.

Longer term goals might be an A&A but that won't be for a couple of years if I keep the car that long.

Welcome aboard, I'm also in Washington but on the wet side.

I bought my 2010 Z06 in 2019 with 13,500 miles on it. Today it has 19,241 miles on it.

Hello, I'm not sure that we are in the same town but I like your Sting Ray.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to cars having owned many of the years and a few LS based engines as well. Looking forward to what this car can do!
