A little back story...

This is the 4th Corvette I've owned. The first was a red '02 Z06 that came from Wilimington, NC. I was making a ridiculous payment on it so I sold it for a higher mileage black '99 hard top coupe that I did some performance work to. I had a fairly aggressive cam in the car that was amazing...even for a daily driver, I loved the feeling of the car shaking while sitting at a redlight! I longed for another red Z06, so I sold the black monster and bought another '02 Z that I daily drove for about a year.

First 2002 Corvette Z06


1999 Corvette FRC (fixed roof coupe)


Second 2002 Corvette Z06



That leads me to Naomi.




She first popped up on a forum for sale and I fell in love. I practically gave away my red Z to buy this car! It had every piece of documentation you could imagine. The owner even had a log of the times he filled the car with gas I bought 2 plane tickets to Sacramento, California and jumped on the plane to meet her. It was a 5000+ mile round trip to get the car and drive it home but I would do it again in a heartbeat.


Here are just a couple of pics from the trip...


Over some water (not sure where lol)


Our cab driver in California My girlfriend snapped this picture and forgot to turn the shutter sound off, her reaction was hilarious!


The cruise control was set around 120mph and we top a hill to find this guy, what are the chances! I flew around him and he caught up with us and we were hauling azz through the desert together


They were building the new bridge at the Hoover Dam...a very cool sight.


Most people don't realize how great these cars are on fuel. The window sticker says 29MPG highway but this is what we were registering across 3 or 4 states:

The interior isn't quite as bright as these photos show

NICE!!! Awesome pics!
