We usually hang out at the twin peaks or hooters in Webster. They're pretty cool spots for drinks and to talk cars. Mine will be on downtime pretty soon for some work so the next couple of weekends I'll be enjoying it.

Any mods currently done to the Z?

That's cool as I live down the road from there. I own a EB '03 Z06 with a ECS blower and other ****.

Well, next weekend we are suppose to meet up with a few other vettes at coffee and cars and maybe a lunch afterwards. If you're interested in joining in feel free to pm me for the details. The more the better.
