I have a question for you. You responded to a thread I had here on thoughts of buying a 2006 Z06 back in August and I have just noticed now. You mentioned that you were lucky when you purchased yours and I am finding especially now that prices are all over the place and generally high for mileage, time of the year etc.

If you don't mind me asking, do you feel that you got a good deal ? Where did you find the "deal" ?

Secondly, in the photo that you posted today of the red Z06 ( this is going to sound like a weird question ) what is the colour of the rims as I have noticed that the Z06's come in a very shiny crome rim or a muted stainless steel ( which I perfer ) rim like the one in your photo today. Was one an option over the other or ?

The Z06 427 cars don't come cheap. An LS2 or LS3 car comes in a lot cheaper. Steve's car appeared to have the silver painted wheels. That's what came on our 2005 originally as well. I would imagine that the polished and chromed wheels were on the option list as well for the Z06 cars.

Great pics Keith. I love the Z's, I really like the victory red beside the silver.

There is something that I really like about that picture of Steve's car slinking up the driveway. All that horsepower and still smooth as glass. The aftermarket exhaust still let us know that they had arrived.

Keith.. that driveway shot does look great... Creepin' up the driveway.
Almost high-centered..?

Ditto on the crown on the driveway. I find that I often make a lot less noise if I drive on the crown and then the far side of the driveway rather than the center. I have to being the FEL over to do a little smoothing one of these days.

Super cars though! And better weather than the current +2, 40 km/hr wind and 5 cm of snow expected here today!!

"Harvesting, what harvesting?!"

Our driveway slopes down to the road. If you don't keep it crowned, water runs down and washes the gravel out. I had to rake some of the crown off the driveway for our car at stock height. Steve's car has been lowered and probably scraped a little coming up the driveway.

Keith with all that money you saved on the front end parts maybe there is enough left to get the thing paved.
