Default Intro , a decade later.

Hello, my name is Brent.

I do not own a vette at the moment. I am shopping around for my next project , likely a C6 GS or Z06.

I thought I might as well stop lurking and make an intro thread and start posting.

I have had a wide , awesome , and some times embarrassing assortment of toys through the years. (DSMs, Firehawk,Hondas, Mustangs, 4x4s, etc)

The current stable is a
Mk7 GTI for my mom
TRD 4Runner for the Wife
and I "daily" a "Bippu" style LS400 on bags and big still 3 piece wheels


Which is hilarious because I am a 40 year old white dude in the suburbs.
Picking up my kid at the bus stop in a Japanese mob boss car in a sea of Teslas and BMW is such a joy.

I think I have talked my friend out of his 2011 Inferno Orange M6 GS C6 that needs a little TLC, but he is traveling and I am leaving for Asia for a month as well, so we will see if I can snag it in March.

enjoy (or not) some pics of the daily slab and the c6 in question.
