New Ride: 2002 Quicksilver Metallic Z06

[Damn True]

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

This is what I was driving @ 21 as an E-4 in the Coast Guard.

That thing got a hemi? LOL, just kidding.

I know what a 21yr old kid driving around in a Z06 looks like--some punk rich kid driving around in either Daddy's car, or a car that Daddy bought for him. Well, my Dad is a New York City Fireman, and I'm sure anyone who knows what FDNY makes, realizes that this isn't the case for me. I've been working construction and saving money to purchase cars since I was 12 years old. So, technically, I've been saving for this car since the 7th grade. It's my belief that it doesn't matter what one drives, be it a Ford Pinto or Ferrari Enzo, as long as one appreciates what it takes to earn it; after swinging a hammer in 90* heat an incalculable number of times--I certainly can.

No but it gave me "hemis" on a cross country drive.


I know you earned it, I was just jerking your chain. Where does your old man work? I might have worked with him when I was stationed in Brooklyn.

Now that one made me laugh out loud.

Circa '94 he's been in Engine 306 in Bayside, NY. Before that, he worked about 10 years in Engine 250 on Foster Ave. in Brooklyn.
