Default Back in the Z saddle

This is my second ZO6, The first one was enjoyed for almost a year until my wife got pregnant ( we got Pregnant...lol)

Fast forward 2 years and I just picked up an 09 with 390 miles from Mississippi and dove it back to Florida.The car is as new as it could be and runs like a champ. I was amazed to get 28.8mpg on my journey back and managed to make it home with no tag.....oops

I can't figure out how to post a pic

Congrats bro, I still got you beat on mileage though. I bought my '07 a year and a half ago with 300 on the odo. Yours looks like a clone to mine. I love Victory Red.

I for one, would if I could...already have 1200 miles on my '11 that I bought in March (yikes). Too much fun to drive. I typically only do 600 per year.
