Congrats!

Well, now I understand why guys go from a 370z to a Vette. I am not a Vette person at all and this car is impressive in the handling department. No doubt making me re-think things.

Imgur still works. But if you upload them as attachnents here, then link to the attachment's URL, the sizing issues seem to go away.

Looking forward to family snaps!

Excellent choice. Congratulations!!

I went form a Vette to a 370z....of course I had a 2008 and a 2013 not the new one. Never driven a new one... However, I did not like the handling feel, kinda like a boat compared to the 370z Nismo, ....less planted, less fun to drive IMOP definitely faster fo sure...Have fun!

It's the wifes. I still have my Nismo. I do enjoy the vette though. It is very nice and it is extremely tempting to just nut up and order a Z06 to my liking.

Took the week off to detail the Vette and my Nismo. Still working on the Vette. It had water spots from H E double hockey sticks. Just about done so I can coat it with Ammo Reflex, Ammo Skin, and then a paste wax. My new Rupes orbital's are awesome. It is soo much easier to polish a car than it was back in the 80's and 90's. Yes, I use to use a Rotory polisher. These DA's are easy. My Nismo is next.

You want to do mine. While I sit back drinking a beer and watch you work?

No thanks, It is taking 2 1/2 days to do each of mine. I just about done with the Nismo. I have been polishing all day and will finish that up tomorrow. I have the back bumper to do. Then it will be coating time, wait 2 hours and apply sealer. I gotta jump on a plan Sunday, I have to finish tomorrow. Ugg.

100 gal of diesel. 7.5 mpg. 2200 miles one way. Avg gal is around $3.25.

2200 miles Div by 7.5 = 294 gals x 3.25 = $956 one way x 2 = $1912 round trip, or there abouts.

Oh, Bobby is in Az. And you would have to clean it again when we get back.
