Changed the oil, took of the stock wheels and threw the Z06's back on. Before putting the wheels on I took the brakes apart and cleaned the inner fenders and whatnot. Found out my pads are getting pretty worn and fairly close to replacement, so looks like I'll be looking for some new stuff soon. Gonna do a full detail tomorrow and fire it up for a good 2 days of driving since the weather should be quite nice . Maybe I'll even take some photo's since I last took them back in June

Might hit up RT66 tomorrow morning, but I doubt I'll be racing the Z since its kind of a last minute thing and my slicks are at my cousins house.

I always say I want to do the power tour, but never do. Last year I was gonna goto the chicago one, but didn't mainly because of the crap weather. So we'll see....
