Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Very nice Rich!:dancer01: :thumbsup:
Well, I washed the Silver one today since it have gathered some dead bugs on the front from our drive yesterday. I felt guilty as hell. My C5Z is sitting over in the driveway with the cover on it, feeling all lonely and neglected. Probably will spit a piston at me next time I take it out for a ride... :ack2:
I had originally planned on sitting the C6 outside, but the Noah cover I ordered hasn't come in yet. So the C6 is under the carport for now, where the C5Z was previously.
Tomorrow (01/08) is our 29th wedding anniversary!

Well depends on how you look at it. It was kind of nerve wracking knowing it was picked up on a Thursday and took a week and a day to get down here. I've found two "blemishes" that were likely done during the trip, but they are not all that big of a deal. A couple of scratches on the door panel right below the driver's side mirror, and a small faint scrape mark on the left side of the rear bumper fascia. Both are small enough and subtle enough that I missed them completely when I expected it at the dropoff point.
But if Connie and I had flown up to New Hampshire and driven the car back to Tallahassee (1300 miles) I am certain there would have been a LOT more blemishes from that trip alone just from rock chips and who knows what else.... Plus the expense would have been probably around the same ($900) all total.
All in all, I think this worked out pretty well, all things considered. I do wish I could have found a local dealer who would have given me a good deal on the car, but that just didn't happen. Even with the cost of shipping involved, nobody around here was even close (and who could meet my deadline). There was a guy down in Venice who came pretty close, but would have had to order a car, and delivery wouldn't have been until sometime in February.
Connie wants a few options that maybe I can find after market or from the dealer. She wants that Cargo Convenience Net, for one thing, if I can find it. And we will be getting the windows tinted. Oh, and I'm looking for a rear license plate frame that won't mar the rear fascia... Probably a few more cosmetic upgrades here and there as well. But nothing too outlandish. Just some personalization being done to the car....
