Finally found what I wanted!!! 2004 TR/MR Z It's been a VERY long road of searching for a cherry Z06....and I found just that....a 2004 Torch Red/Mod Red 812 mile Z06. Thank God for the internet as that is where I located it.
The passenger seat and the drivers side sills still have the protective wrapping on them. I absolutely LOVE the car and can't wait to drive it home on Tuesday.
Here's a pic!

Right now the mileage is 812. It's over 175 miles to get it back to my house....so it will be close to 1000 miles before too long. I plan on putting it away when the bad weather hits and it'll prolly have 2000 miles by then. I can NOT wait to bring it home!!! Tuesday isn't that far away thank God!

Congrats!!!! The Vettes are very hard to put back in the garage. I always take the long way when in the Vette. 
I've managed to rack up about 4000mi in the last 2 years!!
Best of luck to you and you new toy, may it bring many grins from the smell of burning rubber!!!!!

Congratulations! I have the same color combo in my '02 Z06. I am not a big fan of Red cars in general but with this combination I would not have it any other way. Good luck with it and enjoy your new joy.

I brought her home last night and arrived home at well after 1 a.m.! Didn't sleep much LOL....I guess the adrenaline is keeping me going!
That was an awesome ride home! I smiled, giggled, laughed a few times and just rubbed my hand on the dashboard with amazement that I own such a fine car!!!
it is good to be back in a 'vette!!!!!

Congrats, the saddle time in mine is always a joy. I have 5,800 miles now after 18 months, so mine is not a daily driver, but I do put some miles on her from time to time. I feel like I'm on top of the world when I drive mine.

I drove the hell out of it yesterday after work. We usually have a local "Vettes only" Show...but the threat of rain kept it off. So I took advantage and went for a ride! Its hard to believe the gas mileage this car gets! Handling, braking, excellent ride quality, hp AND good gas mileage? That's like being married to Cindy Crawford, eating filet mignon nightly and she's waiting for you in the bedroom all the time hehe. Un-Real!
A trip to Englishtown this weekend ought to put more smiles on. What a car!!!

I took it to Englishtown yesterday morning(What better way to put more SMILES on it!) and met up with the crew. I got to see Paul Z's Cartek/Z do 8's. I took lots of pics and video and they're loaded on Digitalcorvettes.com I have many more vids...but need to load them in.
It has over 1300 miles on it now I can't stop driving it! I am dead tired now, but am going to a friends house. I haven't felt this much pleasure from a car in a LONG time!!!
