Default I took a few pics today (56k beware)

I had my dads car at my house today when I got back from eastside so I snapped a few pics of our cars together. The cars are a little dirty and I took the pics with my old camera so they are not the best quality.






I finally learned how to post pics after three years on the here so you might see alot of pointless pics from me in the next couple months

Nope, but I've got a truck for that...lol and by the way it's for sale if you know anyone who might want a boat. I've had it for five years and it has never been in the water Yeah, it's true

I've got the tubes, ski's, a knee board and lots of other stuff. I lived in SC for two of the years and the boat sat in VT in a garage, then when I moved back I just never had time for it, I worked a lot in the past few years and just never got around to using it, but I stored it in a car port off of our shop and as our buisness has grown a lot in the past few years, the car port has become a loading dock/ storage room, so now it sits in my driveway and I just want it out of there. Where I live there is not a lot of great places to use it. The Conn. river and lake spofford which is really just a big pond.

That was a fun summer, but the blue Z06 was sold, the red T/A was sold, the '93 Z is still sitting in an un-named shop in CT because I'm afraid it might not make the trip back to vermont without having problems, the '78 Vette is in pieces in a friends garage being completely restored (why I don't know) and the little MR2 was traded for an R6.

BTW Erik, J. berry said hi, next time I go to the track, he is bringing his R6, you should come with us. There should be a pretty good group, My dad and I are bringing our vettes, a contractor we do work with is bringing his new Bentley GT, I bet LVD doesn't see many of those. Another guy we know might bring his henessey Viper. A guy down the street from me is bringing his '03 cobra and one of our sales guys is bringing his 04 mach 1. It should be a fun day, with an intresting mix of cars.

Just shows how much better the lines are on the C5 Z06 compared to the C5 coupe and C6... IMHO.

You never know, I really don't think the guys in the two mustangs can drive. The guy with the cobra has never owned anything faster than a civic and says he can't get used to the power... And the guy in the Mach 1 is about the same, so a 13.5 might just run with those guys. I just can't wait to see the Bently run, he also has a BMW Z8 that I was going to bring if I didn't have my car in time, but now I would rather drive the Z06. It won't be until after My car comes back from eastside which will be on june 7th, so we're kind of planning on the next weekend.

No kidding, it has a 6 liter twin turbo W12. It puts out 580hp and 479tq through all wheel drive. The only downfall is that it weighs more than most small-mid sized suv's.....oh yeah and the $$$$$ he was on a waiting list for nearly 6 months and payed almost 175k for it. He is hoing for a high 12sec run.

You can't beat the performance to $$$$ ratio of an f-body. And besides the more of us who beat him, the more likely he'll go buy a faster toy! I've been trying to convince him that the next one should be a gallardo, but he's 65 and doesn't want to climb in and out of one, but maybe one of the 600hp AMG's
