Again ... thanks for what you and others are doing for the USA.
HAHA I don't know that she would do that. She drives a FORD ZX2. It is very slow and automatic. She has to learn to drive stick before taking the Z06 out. My brother is the one that actually drove it, she just went along.

I guess she told him she wanted to drive and he basically said that learning on the vette was not a good idea, then showed her the power it has!!!!! I guess I am not to drive fast in the car now cause she is scared of it!!!!! I have never owned a car this great so you all know I'm going to drive it like I stole it!!!!!!!

Hey Thanks!!!! It seems like there is a crazy amount of military/ ex-military on this forum!!!! I wonder if loving Corvettes is a patriotic thing... Maybe, but all I know is, I feel in love with the white Z06's as soon as I found out they existed!!!!

Oh, sometime I wish I was Navy EOD.... They get to be airborne and get all kinds of crazy SEAL training!!!! OH well I still get to BLOW stuff up!!!!

I used to live up in the Glendale Heights area while going to school!!! I love that area, the Schaumburg mall is a big hit for my wife and me, plus Downtown Chicago is just down the interstate. You never know when you might see another SW Z!!!! Hopefully I'll run across some here and there!!!!

I saw a few people looking at the car through the forum!! I got to the forum late cause I really didn't think I would find the car I wanted on a Forum, but my older brother down in Tampa said it was a good bet.

I could have paid more for a completely stock Z06 with more miles on other sites!!!! I am just glad I found it when I did and that snowedz06 was willing to work with my family to get the car!!!!I couldn't be more happy!!!!

Ramadi!!!! FUN FUN!!! I was out at TQ with a Marine EOD unit, they needed help so my team covered down for them!!!! IT was pretty cool out there!!!!! Marines are good to work with, and being the only Army around was nice too!!!! The Truck above is a JERRV (Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle) haha its made just for us. I don't think I have seen a coyote yet... the cougar is just like the JERRV but is a troop transport...

Take it easy out there if you can!!!! Good Luck with the Vette!!!!

Hi vettelover84 -

Nice looking Z!

You let me know if I can do anything for you or your wife.

Once you get back here to the cornfield, be sure to get ahold of me.

We'll get that Z up on the lift and check it out good.

See ya when you get back home.

best regards -

Default Congrats! Interested in some LG long tube headers?

I'm getting ready to ship my '01 Z06 to Germany (Spangdahlem). Not sure what the emission requirements are there so I'm thinking about taking off my LG long tube headers (no Cats) and putting the stock system back on (w/ catalytic converter). Not sure I want to do the work, but if somebody wanted them, I might be able to motivate myself to do it, although I may cry the whole time! They're awesome!
