I don't have an updated pic, but I just replaced the ZR1 for a Corvette GS triple black Centennial Convertible. It has the black rims too, nice matchup...

What?! Why did you get rid of the Zr1? And for a grand sport? Not even a z06?! Please explain.

We actually wanted a convertible, and an automatic,.. I forgot how much I hate to shift. The ZR1 was going to be my daily driver too, so that didn't help. I actually just sold the Mini Cooper like an hour ago, so the GS will be the DD now.

Also there's only the wife and I, and three cars is just too much. The H2 wasn't getting any use! It's really tough though to get back into the H2 after you have been bolting around in the Mini go cart!! That really is the funnest car we have ever driven...

Didnt you just get the mini too? Man you go through cars quick don't you? Lol. I have 4 cars between just me and my wife and I want more! Maybe a Porsche.

ya only had 650 miles on the Mini. I am having my third midlife crisis... Plus it's a addiction too, but at least I am not drugging, drinking, gambling or sexing (is that a word?)... hmmm come to think of it, no wonder I'm depressed!

Grand sport is gorgeous...... Because its based off a z06. I don't know how anyone could buy a base corvette, knowing that the grands port exist. Wider fenders, wheels, brakes..... All the z06 goodies on the base corvette?....best pick. Another vette I love.... Z06 carbon. All the zr1 goodies on a z06!

Very nice stable of cars! Since our daughters and sons have left to go out on their own we still have the five car garage and I convinced my wife to clear her junk out of one of the slips to make room for a fun weekender, we just had to keep it filled! You can't have too many cars!

[2010_5thgen]

I agree. I told my wife I wanted to buy another car and she said why do you want so many cars? Lol. I don't know why. I just like them. But I need more room. Goal is: build new house next spring, with LARGE garage! I'm pretty excited.

Thanks Hummer Mann... I am just very neurotic about things. I can handle two cars but when it gets to more, the extra insurance, registrations, inspections, washings etc.. start getting to me. Plus the thought of depreciation on three now instead of two, etc...

Plus the salt on the ground here, and I find I am storing them more than driving. All my friends think I'm nuts for not driving the H2 in the winter. I have 15k miles on it and you know how the bottoms of them get. So I finally said screw it and been driving the new Vette now, salt and all,,, but I do have to admit, it's still killing me...

I agree, the base is very bland looking. Someone buying that would just strictly be a cheap thing...

In the Vette forums, looks like the Z06 people have been pissed since the inception of the GS since it stole the wider body and stuff from the Z06 for like $40 grand less or something...

I love the carbon too. I just ordered the carbon fiber front splitter and the side skirts to steal a bit off the ZR1 look too! Should piss some people off in the ZR1 forum now too... lol

Those z06 guys have nothing to be bitching about. That z06 is a bad car. Just because the gs got some styling cues, doesn't mean jack. The mmotor, suspension is what makes that car a supercar. I've seen videos of the z06 smoking gallardos and ferarris all day.
