Default its on now.....JASON got a Z06!!!

Happy early 26th birthday (5/22) to me.
I must say it is the best present I have ever gotten. (and I bought it for myself)


Well after a few minor dramas I actually did the deal and I think right now I am in a state of shock. I just bought a 2006 Z06 1LZ Red/Black/red, polished, no nav, 2500-mile beauty. It hasn't really sunk in yet. Sorry for the following lousy pictures. I'll get some better ones this weekend when the weather clears up.





(Those aren't marks on the seat. It is raindrops on the lens of the camera)


(Check engine light is on because the ignition is on but not running)


This is my first Corvette ever.






This still has not sunk in.

hell yeah! I know you have been shopping for about a year now. You MUST be excited to go out in the rain at night to snap photos, lol.

(don't let the other Corvette guys see your car in the rain, they will ban you from the Corvette sites)
