Got to know her a little bit today, as I logged 300 miles driving her home from Iowa. Permagrin engaged! The car has exceeded all of my lofty expectations. Extremely amiable cruiser, and when the right foot gets an itch...WOW! . I will be hearing that engine note in my dreams tonight! Looking forward to getting to know the community, both on here, and hopefully in person.

Once the bank account recovers from the initial purchase, I may pay a visit to Mark Haibeck for some top end work, but won't mess with the block. Always open to suggestions as well!

Welcome to the FBI! You're in the land of a disproportionate number of ZR-1 GURUs and LT5 fanatics!!

And, you're as close if not closer to the next BIG EVENT than most of us - I speak of the Crown Point Corvette Challenge coming up on September 9th (see my post for more information) and we'd love to see ya there, even if you don't race 'er just having a codre of Zs there will make a huge statement - put the fear of ZR-1s in their hearts

Hope to see you there, if not before! And, if there is any Corvette events or cruises/car shows in the Springfield area, let me know so we can get them on the calandar.

Again, welcome to the FBI and the Brotherhood of the Beast!

I'm a member of the Corvette Club of Michigan, sponsored by Les Stanford Chevrolet in Dearborn, Michigan. I am also a member of the Capital City Corvette Club in Lansing, Michigan sponsored by Bud Kouts Chevrolet.

I am the ambassador for both clubs, which are two of the original members of the National Council of Corvette Clubs (NCCC), to the National Corvette Museum.

Additionally, I am a board member to the National Corvette Museum.

So, if interested in a trip to participate in the NCM or other ZR-1 trips with the ZR1 net registry, give me a call or text. The region members are awesome and the Chicago crew are fantastic!!!!!

[Ronstar]

I'd like to. Let me know and I'll try to make it
