Let's see...I just need to save up for the twin turbo set up for the Z06, and then I could REALLY have some fun!!!

Wow Brian...a play on words.... Sounds like something that I would say (I prefer the word VEHICLE, though)!

Me...in front of my new 'toy'

Those are the NAGS (National Auto Glass Specifications) list prices. They are what 90% of glass shops use as a pricing benchmark.

It depends on what glass you have...here are the options and list prices: Solar (Dark Tint) w/ Heat - $196.6 Solar (Clear/Green Tint) w/ heat - $192.40 Solar (Dark Tint) w/o Heat - $185.90 Solar (Clear/Green Tint) w/o Heat - $185.90 Again....all of those are LIST prices. Depending on where you are, you can expect 25%+ off. Also, there will be about $20.00 in installation materials (urethane, primers, etc.) Labor time is 2.6 Hours - probably run you about $90.00. Hope that helps...I am a little far away to be putting you in a backglass....

Damn Brian....53...next thing you know the kids are going to have to put you in a 'home'!

You're just getting old and senile....but we already knew that... Thanks Dale for coming to my rescue. I have been getting REALLY, REALLY tired of being the only non-black VEHICLE at all of these gatherings. Black looks great and all, but I am sure that they made red ones, and blue and silver for that matter! I was telling my old man that I think if I drive the Z06 again you guys won't let me park by you...I think it was Bob that said noone was looking the the SSs and going straight for the Vette!

I am just glad you guys love me soo much..... Hey Brian, remember me saying something like... "I hope that I am not the only Non Black VEHICLE there again..." I will try and get my photos up this weekend. I really did have a great time. Maybe next time Joe could raffle off a ride in the Vette...I know Bob would buy a ticket!

Brian, you have way too much free time....

Maybe I know what I sould drive to Michigan this year....

Maybe if you are a good boy Bob I will take you for a ride.....

Vette...but then again I am a little bias.... Let me tell you, the Z06 is plenty at 500HP on the streets...I just can't imagine another 100+ horse in the car!

No.... But my mother does call it her grandchild....but we won't go there. A funny story from the gathering.... They had all of the vehicle lined up shooting some pictures, then the photographer told us to go stand by each of our vehicles....if memory serves me correctly, I wasn't the only one standing next to my car (cough...Brian...cough...Bob)! Although, it does seem that the photo taken of us holding the SSS.com banner was in front of the Z06!

Trust me, I have been called an SOB more times since I purchased that car than I have ever remembered. It was priceless...the look on Brian's face (hot rod truck) when he pulled up, looked around, and asked me where my truck was.....he was standing 3 feet away from the car!

As some of you may recall, I had the opportunity to have a 'friend of the families' Corvette C6 Z06 last summer (thread here: http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46771&hl=. Well...as I explained to the guys at the Midwest meet yesterday, that was the most expensive mistake of my life... On February 14th, I took delivery of my new C6 Z06 - Victory Red / 2LZ / Chrome Wheels / Nav. As Bob, Brian, Joe, and Dale will tell you, I am one proud papa. It is truly an amazing vehicle. The LS7 (427) is unbelieveable. The exhaust is intoxicating. The car will flat out turn heads. I'll post some more pics later, but the guys from the meet didn't want to spoil my surprise. It has been hard to keep the car under wraps this long, but I wanted some of the guys to be surprised when the saw me pull up in it. Let's just say that I was refered to as a SOB on a number of occasions yestday.... Rob

OK guys, thanks for letting me break the news. I am sure that there are some pictures that you guys want to post up of the event. I started a new thread on in the Off Topic section, since I didn't think this was the place to do it.... Rob

Count me in....I have to be there otherwise Brian will kick my ass....and it would be great to see Bob and Joe!

You forgot your AARP discount....

I too picture those words coming out of your mouth....

You know I'm in.....Bryan knows where I live now and he will come get me if I'm not there!!!

Here is a request to everyone else in the Midwest within a reasonable driving distance of Indianapolis (for the next gathering)... PLEASE DON'T LET ME BE THE ONLY NON-BLACK TRUCK THERE!!! I am positive that GM made these trucks in not only RED, but BLUE AND SILVER! PLEASE, don't let me be the (as it was stated to me...) the RED HEADED STEP CHILD of the Indy Meet!!! Rob

We figured you might like it post-Zippy! Sorry guys, I brought my camera, but didn't take but 1 of 2 pics (and they weren't worth a crap). It was great seeing everyone (and meeting in a few instances). We will definately have to do one again in the spring! Rob

Sorry...been meaning to post on this topic for a while now, just REALLY busy here at work (besides being swamped, the 'festival' is going on here in town this weekend, and we are in the middle of a remodeling/building project including a new roof on the main building - 160' x 50', a new 24' x 60 pole barn, and a bunch of concrete work.....). Needless to say, this is my third 16 hour day in a row and it is really getting old. I WILL BE THERE on the 13th....I promised Brian I would be a co-conspiritor after all (and I think I have been to every Indiana meet thus far...). Rob

Joe (6.0ss) who was a very active member a few years ago has pictures on his myspace where he got to ride in one here recently. Take a look here: http://www.myspace.com/joekrelle
