Last night was 2-20 man lol

Wasn't me in that group.

However since yesterday was so beautiful i had to take the car out, even though it's filthy.

Saw a red C7 convert (top down), not sure if it was a Z or not because i saw last second. But it looked lowered with some wheels. Look very nice. Gave me the thumbs up.

This was in secaucus at around 4:30pm on paterson plank road.

Took the car out just before it rained today. I hate driving my car when it's dirty lol.

Anyway saw a stingray? on route 80 west by exit 62'ish. I noticed the front bumper and a glimpse of the ZR1 style rear wing and i thought it was the new ZR1 and i was like no way, i didn't even know they hit the streets yet lol. Then you gave me the wave and i waved back. Not sure if you saw because of my tints.

That M5 was hauling *** right behind you though lol. I was going to initiate some highway play but i took an exit shortly after.

Saw a gray'ish stingray on route 80 west today. At about 11:30am. Was going to initiate some play but i had to take my exit. Car looks really good. I never get to see my car because i'm always in it but seeing another C7 rolling down the highway and these cars sure look damn good.

You should, i never stored my Z at all this winter lol.

I been driving whenever all the snow was gone, and just wash the car when i got back to remove any residual salt that might have got stuck to the car.

Next weekend i get my new conti's installed. Getting rid of the crappy michelin run flats.

So if anyone is interested on low mileage michelin PSS's, the'll be for sale soon lol

I don't really have room for it during the winter months. I live in a townhouse and when snow comes I have to move my daily to the other side of the building. Therefore, my daily goes in the garage for the winter and the vette into storage. If I had a 2/3 car garage I would obviously leave it at my house all year long.

Spotted another C7 on route 80 west today. Around 11:30am.

It was a crystal red vert? Tried to give a wave as you pass me but you didn't look over. Plus i have tints so i wasn't sure you'd be able to see the wave anyway lol.
