What's up guys?
Just purchased a used (7,000 miles) red 2009 Z06 with the 3LZ titanium/black interior from Buds Chevrolet, St. Marys, Ohio.
Flew up to the dealership and spent 13 hours driving back home. Until now I had paid little attention to the surfaces of the highways. It did not take long to figure out that asphalt is good and concrete sucks! Sadly, too much of the trip was on concrete highways including about 50 miles of potholes around Richmond, VA.
Now that I have had time to rest I really enjoy driving the car and the suspension isn't all that stiff, as long as you stay off of concrete. The performance is pretty amazing.
My previous performance cars were a 1969 Plymouth GTX purchased new (hey, I'm an old man), 1975 Pontiac Formula 400 purchased new and later modified with Ram Air IV heads and manifold. (I used to think it was fast!)
About 12 years ago I took helicopter lessons and later purchased a Hughes TH-55A (269-A). It is currently manufactured under the same type certificate by Schweizer and is called the 300. Being able to land in your own backyard is pretty cool.
I am an engineer by training and started up a manufacturing company in 1984. Together with my family farm I stay pretty busy. My business travels have allowed me to travel throughout most of the US and Canada.
Other hobbies include riding my Yamaha Warrior, boating, poker, and working with Lion's Club and Boy Scouts.
One day I would like to go to a driving school and learn a wee bit about competitive driving. Am looking forward to learning as much as possible from the forum members here.
