New Ride: 2002 Quicksilver Metallic Z06

[Ralph LoGrasso]

nice catch ralph. go easy on that thing it will bite ya when your not thinking about it.

Thanks, Vince!! I most definitely will go easy--this car demands respect.

Congrats! I must say that a Z06 (or any C5 / C6 Corvette) is on my list of 'dream cars'. Lets see some more pics!

Thanks!! I will try to snap some more pics today.

Awsome car Ralph. Any ideas on what you want to do first to it?

Thanks, Andrew!! My first mods will mostly be minor (read: cheap) asthetic stuff: screens for the lower valence and doors, smoked clear corner lights, black or CF "Corvette" fill-ins for the tail panel. I'm also going to paint the lower half of the rear valance black, to mimic a new Z06. It's a very popular mod with the C5 guys these days.

What a triumph over adversity.

I've slain adversity; I now wallow in a pool of its iniquitous blood. Heh.

Looks great,I wish i would have got silver instead of black.More pics please!

Thanks!! Black was actually my other color choice. I almost purchased a 580 mile black car a few months ago, but the price was too high. Nothing looks better than a black car when it's clean, but for me, that occurs far too infrequently.

Congrats on the new ride Ralph, looks awesome. But dude, at 21 isn't the insurance going to hand you a beating every month?

Thanks, Jeff!! Actually, the insurance is slightly less than it was on my '01 Camaro SS. I've also got it insured as an occasional use vehicle, so that reduces the cost of insurance at least 50%. It's basically as close as you can get to "collector" insurance for a late model.

Congrats ralph,sweet ride enjoy it.

Thanks!!! I certainly will.
