Just curious.... how is your car being supported? the left rear jack stand appears to show space between it and the car. Is there something that we cannot easily see in the picture.
I am guessing it is pure ZR-1 Magic!
Thanks!
Marty

I was told the same thing by my insurance company. I'm only supposed to drive my Z only so many miles a year, and with those plates it would limit it further.....and as many " safety" road blocks the State police set up down here, its just not worth the hassle for me. I love the look of the plates but love driving my Z when I want to lol.

Only months I would potentially have a problem would be March and November..

I wonder if driving it to a friends garage to use the lift is considered a service station..LOL

I do that w my insurance agent. Let them know I am taking car out for gas or service. That way they have my request to initiate coverage in case something happens.

Hi Marty is
Being as we are down under and up sides down we only need the stands to keep the car form floating away

I was thinking it was the often joked about "sky hooks".


Thanks for resting my curiosity!

Oh---A low blow, that was. It was, according to him, merely a bit of "operator error".--Bob
