The Z 06 I wrote about is mine. Insured and everything (the premium jump is huge.)
Taking suggestions on names for the car. So far it reminds me so much of a Star Trek shuttlecraft that I want to call it “Enterprise” but my wife thinks that name sucks. More pics later on in the day. And yes I put the pillow there on purpose.
Cheers Oppo and esp you KingTChalla and your gorram peer pressure. Go ahead and tell me how stupid/ridiculous/foolish I am.

If it was black, I would have said to get this plate: TOOTHLS3

Casper.
That pillow looks like the Eminem butt from early 2000’s

They gave me more for the ISF than Carmax would, and sold the car to me at basically slightly above what they paid for it.
Warning note to future buyers, car loan interest rates are going up.

I didn’t even see the pillow butt until you mentioned it. Can’t unsee.

“Orville” still technically Star Trek

3 years ago, everyone was getting nearly 0%. Seems to be quickly approaching 5 now.

The shuttlecraft was named Galileo. I’m not sure if your wife will go for that either.

Congrats! I'm surprised about the insurance, not so much about the interest rates. Have you started tire shopping?

Name it “The Car Formally Known as Vette”

Car names should develop naturally, IMO. Don’t force it.
Awesome purchase!!

I'll probably replace the rear cup2s with more Cup 2s. Depending on how they wear, I might switch to PS4Ses for comfort and wet traction.

I looked it up and the Enterprise’s shuttle craft were the Gialleo, Copernicus and Columbus. Those are pretty boring car names. If you really wanted to get your wife on your side tell her you will name it the Ron Jeremy since it swings a big...
The Star Trek stuff will sound pretty good after that.

Congrats! I don’t want to know what you did to get it. I’m sure it was worth it.

You are right. I'll let it come naturally.

Just a paint accident no thing to see here, officer.

Well it's raining today and I didn't die. I posted a test drive review but I'll write some more long term stuff in a few weeks.

I say it looks too menacing to be a shuttle. How about Defiant?

I like the way you think, Padre. DS9 was amazing.

Craaap. I found a FJ55 for 20k and I feel like an idiot for wanting to trade the garage space for it.
![]() 02/04/2019 at 02:35 |

I dunno much about a FJ55. They seem rare? 20k for a rare thing like that seems tempting.

Did you test drive a GT350 before pulling the trigger? The Z06 blows it out of the water on pure performance, I’m sure.

Funny thing - the Ford dealer wasn’t interested in letting me drive it. The wife sat in it and decided she didn’t like it, and I decided at that point that it wasn’t worth it. There weren’t even any on Turo, and we didn’t want to to drive to Peoria (30 min away.) And we were a quarter mile away from the Z06.
So it kind of felt like the Shelby wasn't the right car.

What an idiot. You should send him a picture of the Z06 and write “thanks for making my decision easier”.
