It started in 1990 when a local Chevy mechanic was test driving one. He saw me staring at him and asked me if I knew what it was. When I was able to give him the specs on the car he asked if I wanted a ride. I was 26 and could barely afford my rent at the time let alone a supercar payment. Jump to 2005 I go to Carlisle for the first time and see all the ZR1's lined up in a row with the hoods up.. To see the LT5 15 yrs later I knew I wanted one. Started my computer searches found this forum and was impressed with the support given by fellow Z owner someone had a problem with their Z. Picked up my 95 in Oct.05 with 3k miles, new car in my book and for half what it cost new. Bottom line, it started with the car but has turned out to be the people I have met and become freinds with ( I hope they know who I'm talking about ) LOL. I would love to pick up another one.
