Work doing OK one VERY COOL Perk Coming up.
Well we've actually been selling a decent amount of crap... 3500 last week and over 7k this week...
But today something VERY nice came in... We got a Z06 03 I think... not sure I'll check tomorrow... but I off handedly go to my boss (owner's brother)... "when am I gunna get to drive the z06" He goes... "I guess when it's done"... So I get to go beat the life out of a z06 in a couple weeks/months... depending on when it gets done... That should be fun... never driven a vette.. That thing better be fast or I'll be PISSED... and ready to go rag on it EVERYWHERE.

I drove a Z06 around the block a couple years back. I was impressed, but not $50K worth of impressed. Maybe if I'd have gotten to drive it like it's meant to be driven (like on an autocross course) I would've appreciated it more. I did, however, run it like a scalded dog and the engine was pretty impressive...but not as smooth as Ford's OHC V8s.

Actually the base base BASE models will be going for just over $44K MSRP. And apparently there's no performance package for the '05 models except suspension packages? But the Z51 suspension package does come with "performance tuned" tires.

Well...that one is a coupe that doesn't come with a lot of things I'd expect if I was shelling out $44K for a car. Things like power seats and whatnot (there's only one enginem though...no options). I'm not sure about the stereo...but the option that puts you up to a little over $48K gives you an AM/FM CD player with MP3 playback and an in dash 6 disc changer. Although the $48K package includes a heads up display and a dot matrix read out and G meter for track use...which is pretty cool. I fiddled with the price and figured what I'd want on the car if I were driving it and came out to just over $54K. Wow...GM's got some balls asking that for any car.

bah... at this point I don't know if I'll still be working there by the time they finish it...
And knowing the way they "fix" cars I don't know that I'd want to drive it. Place is so upside down it's rediculous...
