Default Opps, I Did It Again

I told my wife this is the last one. Yeah right.

Finally got the Z shipped from Canada. Made the deal last Fall but just hadn't arranged shipping yet. Finally got it all wrapped up.

Of course, the day it arrived it was raining and the car got dirty. Hopefully, it will be dry tomorrow. This thing still smells new and is as tight a mouses ear. 9,756 miles. Got every stitch of paperwork from the first owner's purchase.

I like it!

You mean that stupid "headlights up" when you turn the car on? Kind of annoying.

This car came from Vancouver.

And to the other two nitwits above, as Brett said it came from Vancouver, where it might snow once or twice a year max. You can golf all year round there.......usually.
Jesus it gets tiring teaching you guys

Like Sweets in Canada even in South Dakota we can drive longer than 3 months. You guys got it all wrong --- It is North Dakota where you can only drive 3 months.

I found the sensor for the headlights located on the dash. Just have to fool it.

It's a 95. Last year for the ZR-1. They exported about ten of the Purple/Blk ZR-1's up North. They only made twenty-five Purple cars.

Thanks. I really am lucky to be able to acquire more than one of these cars.

There might be a couple more than just us two. One of the big events that draws from across the country is the Black Hills Corvette Rally:

https://www.blackhillscorvetteclassic.com/


There are some great roads to drive on out in the Black Hills including the Needles Highway and Iron Mountain Road with its one way tunnels that you can see Mt. Rushmore through and its pig tail bridges. Worth taking in if you ever get up this way.

Well if I ever want to do a cross country trip like our buddy Pete I'll look into it.

The Corvette Rally is a really great event. Plus, there are some awesome twisty roads to give the car a work out!

Vette Daddy you certainly are lucky, but I get the impression you're the type to make his own luck. What a prize!!!

I missed out on a Dark Rose metallic ZR in Albuquerque. I got a much lower mileage 91, but I was already down to own a second purple C4. I was once told only a pimp would own a purple Corvette.
