Tomorrow morning my wife and I are heading out in our still new to us 04 Z06 Z16 CE from south Florida to southern California and back with a stop over next week in Las Vegas where I'll do the three day Corvette road course at Spring Mountain. It's been a couple of months since I bought it with just under 10k miles. Talk about a fixed grin.
Thanks to CAC where I learned about Spring Mountain. Really looking forward to those three days next week.
In preparing for the trip, I just installed a Speed Lingerie bra. I'd always thought car bras looked rather goofy but I know how bad the road chips and bugs are on a trip like this. So I went ahead and got the high price bra and must admit now that it looks pretty good. Took some stretching and pulling to install but its completely smooth and skin tight and the Le Mans blue looks just fine. The company promo says it won't flap before 150 mph. Probably won't get a chance to put it all the way to a test but I'll do my best.
Also installed a new Passport 9500 radar detector in a fixed mount under the rear view mirror and hard wired to the mirror. Around town it seems to work quite well with a minimum of false alarms and good sensitivity to the real thing. Looking forward to using this on the highway.
In three-four weeks I'll report on how happy I was or wasn't with the bra and detector. I can already say how happy I am with the car. It's one of those rare things in life that completely exceeded my expectations in every respect!
When I get to the Los Angeles area, I'm going to find the Glendora mountain road that Hib Halverson wrote about in his terrific "Final Toast" article celebrating the 04 Z06 Z16 CE and take that ride. Thanks, Hib. It's great weather in south Florida much of the time but it's hard to find a mountain road hereabouts.
So it's on the road, in high style.
