C Baker and his new SW Z motoring South
 
Pic of Christian with his new Speedway White/Mod Red Z06. He just picked it up from the seller in Saginaw, Michigan. I met up with him and his brother Brandon in Lansing. Check out the smile on his face!

Couple more with his brother. I am concerned that Brandon might ditch Christian in some Indiana cornfield on the way home and take the car home himself!:smash:

Here are a couple of pics from when I went to inspect it for him back in Feb just after a snow storm. Poor thing will now get to live in Texas where it will never see snow again.:thumbs:

This pic was taken after they had the hood open in order to jump start a dead battery.:ack:

So far it is the "ballsiest" (if that's an actual word) car I have ever driven. I went back there when the roads were clear and that baby has some oats under the hood!
I drove a 435 HP 67 vert once back in the day but could not put any power down with the skinny stock tires.
The modern Vettes handle and drive so much better.:flag:

Hey Christian - Did you make it into Missouri? Hope everything is going well and what kind of mileage are you getting?:lurk:

Bring it on back to Houston ... shouldn't take too long from MO :D

hey all, made it into Houston this after noon and just got done washing all the bugs off. When I get some time this week I will post pics of the trip at all the different stops. I am finally excited to be able to say I drive a Corvette, I have been wanting one all my life growing up around my fathers '63 coupe!:thumbs:
