Since everyone else was buying Corvettes.... I bought one too..... About god damn time I do believe.
2008 2LTZ Z06.... 19,000 miles and in very good condition.
Will post some interior shots tomorrow. Unfortunately I did not test the MPG's at 100 mph.
It DID however get 29.6 mpg at roughly 80 to 85 mph over a 205 mile drive.
Drove to Dallas to pick it up.
Have a smile from ear to ear. This is my present to myself for getting my engineering degree.
Cheers

I am sure someone will come hate on the degree and call me an imaginary engineer... but at least the paychecks are real.
Thanks for the compliments guys.

Now you're a baller Gray. Nice ride. Love the color too.
Congrats. You've worked hard. You earned the reward.

Now it needs a tint job and a drop....
The wheels I am looking at look great in photos but as I sit here and look at them on a car, I can't seem to like the looks.

Looks good, you going to daily drive it or keep the truck as a daily? If I worked on land in an office, I think I would have got the Z, but needing a truck for work and wanting to buy a house, I couldn't justify the Z cost just yet.
That's the way you got to do it if you want a good job when you graduate, put in work while still in school, other wise your a step behind the curve when you do graduate. If I didn't work where I worked while in school, I wouldn't be where I am at now, it sucked at the time but I knew the pay off would be worth it in the end just like it paid off for you.
