Default Today was christmas for me.....
Went to Eastside and picked up the new toy! Haven't been able to stop smiling since I heard it running when I got there. It even gets the garage for the winter... Z06 gets the trailer parked next to the garage

Also want to thank ken and gary for answering all my questions, and Ken for the two 10lb tanks..... Thanks guys

(sorry for the shitty pics, they didn't come out very well)

I have no idea.... Kind of a bad time to buy this car... I'm going to have to look at it everyday for the rest of the winter..... Maybe if my driveway has no snow or ice... I'll take it out and practice my burnouts!!

or you'll end up spending countless hours polishing and waxing it! by the start of the racing season, you'll have 27 coats of wax on the car, 2 inches thick, and adding 20lbs to the race weight
