Talking We're back ...

Well, we joined about 3 years ago when we had our 99 pewter TA, sold it got a GTO and switched boards. Well, now we are back since we are now the proud owners of a 2004 Covette Z06 w/ Z16 package (LeMans Commemorative Edition).

Here are some pictures of the baby and Rob's new mistress:

Not mine. If I had a Z16 I probably would have kept it. Definitely one of the nicest C5's offered imo especially with the polished rims.
