• neighborhood friends brother had a 2001 orange camaro ss. Loud as hell, could hear him start it all the way down the block. He would race around the neighborhood

• when I was 10 my mom got me a model car of the 2001 first year z06 in silver

• when I was in middle school, a guy at the gym got a new c5 Z06. He took me for a ride in the parking lot, my dad told him not to go out in the street.

• Dad's coworker took me for ride in 2005 C6

• GM had an event where we could try them, but I was too young, so they took me for a ride. The guy said how fast do you want me to go and I said "medium." we rode in the atomic orange one and it threw me back in my seat

• got a 2015 Mustang Gt when I got my first real job. Loved the car, but still tried a couple vettes after a dude in the gym talked major shit to me telling me I gotta try a vette

  • First was a 2016 C7 auto. I saw the salesman put it in weather mode and I wasn't impressed. He got mad because I took it over 100 but I wasn't gonna spend 60 bands if I wasn't impressed with the car

• 2010 base auto. It was nice but nothing amazing. Suspension felt too soft.. Didn't buy it

• traded Mustang in for a diesel truck for my business.

• 3 years later, I got experience rebuilding cars, had built several cars and trucks from auctions

-my car buddy gave me the bug. He's got a 2014 cts v wagon and we started taking cars. He said he really likes C6's but get a manual

-getting a new job soon, so to celebrate, I got a salvage 2006 c6 Manual at auction right before new years

• aside from a few annoyances, we got it running perfect and registered by the end of feb

• love the car and see why people are crazy about LS motors. This won't be my last vette
