no wonder why my wife doesnt want me take out the Z lone haha

My "pick 'em up at the pump" game chatter might be a little rusty.
Let me give it a try:

Me: "Hey little lady, they say European men love their cars so much, they consider refueling akin to artificial insemination."

She: "Say what?"

Yep, I'm a little rusty.

Good color choice, I also have a SG Z07. Get some paint film on the front to keep her looking new. Went w Suntek and you can hardly see it

Yes, Soulsea factored into my SG choice.

Sadly, the week mine was produced, I saw an update picture of an SG Z06 delivered to Sanibel Island. I can see Sanibel from my house - now I always think of the interloper who got his first.

Even worse, the next week a few people said they saw me driving my new Corvette in town. It was the Sanibel guy they saw. This became a running joke at my expense.

Here is a picture of his car. It is different from mine - he has SG vents (rare), gray with bright accent wheels, and no black stinger. These differences are too subtle for anyone to notice. I hope he likes getting blamed for my obnoxious driving! Ha!
