Z4 gone, C6 in its place

I enjoyed the BMW Z4's brief stay with me. It's a fun little roadster, but not at all comfortable for long weekend getaways. Unless you are on glass smooth pavement, the ride will beat you to death and becomes exhausting on long drives. So, on Thursday I traded it in on a pristine 2005 Corvette with just 52,000 miles on it. She's loaded with all the bells and whistles (Nav, sport seats, HUD, polished wheels). A C6 doesn't ride like my Cadillac, but compared to the Z4 it does.

I've wanted a Vette since I was sixteen and saw a guy tear out of the Winn Dixie parking lot in an L82 and catch rubber when he shifted into second. Now I have one.

LS2 w/ 400 HP. LS3 didn't come out until the 2008 Corvette. The LS2 is plenty fast for me:

 
awesome, I drove an 07 automatic a few years back. The power was insane and the handling was even more insane.

Don't leave it parked under that Crepe Myrtle for too long, those flowers shed like crazy this time of year.

Automatic. Twenty or thirty years ago I would have gone for the manual, but not anymore.

Congrats! Nice car. I wish I could fit in one. I passed up a chance to buy a 2001 Z06, low miles, manual transmission for under 20K because I couldn't fit in it comfortably.
