When I bought my Vette I used Mark's page for a ton of things but it wasn't until I saw it in person that I realized it was probably the nicest C5 I've ever seen. It looks brand new off the assembly line every time I see it!

You have done an awesome job with your car, looks great. I was at that dealership yesterday, will now always think of you when I am there. I just bought my C5, hope I can look back on it in 10 years like you have done here.

Nothing like a guy loving his Z and modding it to keep up with the times....

I must say though, I've never seen anyone hardpark in their own garage...lol.

One of the best Vettes I've ever seen and one of the best Vette owners I've ever met! I definitely enjoying being local and seeing it on a regular basis!

I enjoy the yin and yang of being the dirtiest car in DFW next to the cleanest car in DFW when me and Mark park next to each other.

In Texas, Alexander can get his learner's permit at age 15, and his driver's license at age 16.

What are the odds Mark () will let his son drive that pristine Z06 any time before poor Alexander reaches age 30?

Did U lower it on the stock adjusting bolts? I am on the other end of the issue, yours looks great, but I want to raise mine., mainly to eliminate the scraping and ease of entry and exit. How high do you think I could raise it on the stock adjusting bolts? From the picks it looks like a 2 or 3 inches of travel is possible.
