“I have returned” Joined in June of 2019 and am now on my 4th C6 since May of that year.
Always wanting a C6 Z06 and couldn’t find a good one, I bought a pristine Red Tint Coat ‘11 GS with the two-tone interior and a M6. 16K miles.

I then found the car of my dreams. A ‘08 Velocity Yellow Z06 with only 13K miles. Then began the problems. The car must have been tracked it’s entire life. $6000 later it was perfect. I was on my way to the dealer to inform him of this expense when a P/U tugging an invisible car hauler trailer pulled out in front of me and I hit it doing about 70mph. I’m a believer in how stout the ZO6 is.
The car was totaled and I walked away with only a bumped knee and a sore neck.

After taking a beating by GEICO, I bought a ‘12 GS in Arctic White with an automatic.

Bored to tears, I went on the hunt for another Z06 and found my current hot rod. A ‘09 in Black with 22K miles and a STS twin turbo set-up. This car is scary to drive as the suspension is stock save for being lowered. It sticks like stink until you hammer the go pedal. In a straight line, however....

Thanks for letting me bore you. It’s great to be back with my Forum family.
