It's Official:

I purchased my first corvette today. I have wanted one since i was very young and at age 21 I have finally been able to fulfill my dream. Drove out to Michigan on sunday and came home today with it. It took 12 cars to finally get to this point but I think this one will be around for a while. (Especially if ShadowHawk- Matt gives me his rims). I will post pics tomorrow after a good wash and wax but just picture in your head a stock black 2001 Z06 with tints... 24 hours worth of driving in 36 hours is crazy by yourself. I thought I would never make it but it was all worth it. Only had to dodge one deer and a flying cone... other than that the trip was uneventful









It's mostly stock

It's just a P1SC but it gets the job done.

Haha How long ago has he had FiOS? Some of the earlier installations had battery issues and if you contact Verizon they will replace the battery because there was a bad batch of ONT's and Batteries.

been a member for the last 5 years I took pics tonight but i will have to wait to upload them tomorrow. Its so nice to finally have a car that handles. Trans Ams have too much weight to throw around. The car is quick, prob faster than the last trans am but I need to get used to how quiet and docile it is.

Lighten up, you'll live longer. I have a piece of crap plastic car too. If you can't take some abuse you won't last long on the vette boards.

Replacements are pretty cheap. Just put a new one in at my mom's house a few months ago....I believe it was ~$32 shipped to her door.
