Dude I envy you. Either DD or Z06 would be badass.

Either keep the evoque for a daily, or sell it off at 62-65ish and put 10 on top and bring a brand new z06 down from the US (my dream car...)
I would Sell the car you won... and buy this car http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...6-lsx-f1c.html

I would never purchase a brand new car due to how much value decreases as soon as it leaves the lot... or wait for the c7... once the c7 get's released the c6's are going to lose a lot of $$.. A lot of guys on corvette forums are trying to sell off there car's for that very reason.. You could sell your 5th gen with the new car you won and buy a mildly used zr1 :O

Well I understand the not buying new cars and going with used but I always figured I wanted my own z06. Not sure if you understand.... Kind of a car I've always wanted. Don't want one taken care of or abused by someone else. Wanna start from 0 with the car like I did the 5th gen.

5th gen is my baby. I would never sell it or trade it in for anything. Got way too much love for the fat pig.

Congrats on the win! That is some insanely good luck. I can honestly say, that I don't think I have ever won a raffle in my whole 18 years of existence. Never win on scratch tickets either for that matter.... Hmmph. Guess I should avoid Vegas for now. So yea, I vote for waiting on a C7, if you like the styling. They should be here in about a year right? 2014 models will be coming out around this time, 2013? If not, the new ZO6 would be awesome too. Too bad you couldn't find a little extra cash to drop on a brand new ZR1. That would be cool.

Congrats on winning

I went to see Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead and slipknot on friday at mayhem fest in Tampa... still recovering. Awesome show though, my buddy caught Kerry King and Ian Scott's guitar picks we were 10 feet from the stage. There were a bunch of smaller bands earlier in the day too


Congrats on winning a car 2SS that's ****** awesome. The most I have ever won in my life is a 100$ scratch off ticket one time. Lucky bastard

Slipknot is badass. They filmed one of their music videos several years back in a house right down the street from my buddy's place. Safe to safe they destroyed that house

This was my 4th time seeing them, they always put on a great show. Slayer is probably my favorite band of all time though.

lol thanks. Been looking up pics and **** since I never really got a good look at the car. I was telling my friend last week how gay it was and he said as punishment I'd end up having one.... Go figure lol. But the more I look at it the more I like it but if the guy goes through and offers me the 62k I won't even take it out of dealership and sell it. Then just get the dream c6z06.

Don't really like c7s tbh. Just want me a black z06 with black rims.

I'm not a fan of the C7s either. But then again, it took me a few years to appreciate the base C6s. The Z06 was just instant wet dream on wheels

C7s look like 10 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag. I'd rather have a 2013 GT500 honestly or a 5th Gen. Or a C6Z, that's my dream car

Just speculation but they have been spotted testing and photos have been leaked which looked awful

True dat. Concepts always look like the ugliest ******* thing you've ever seen, then when the car comes out you're like "oh, well it's not that bad". Then it starts to grow on you, next thing you know you end up buying a new 5.0 even though you hate the taillight design.

LOL I'm getting sick of all the new fast cars. Making it to damn hard to have a "fast" street car

Thats the same thing I used to say. Then I hit a $7500 jackpot at the casino off a $1.50 bet on my birthday, $972 the following weekend, and then $1900 last weekend. Im waiting on a piano to fall on me or something.
