Z06 will make you smile... maybe you can just take the wife and kid out in it separately LOL.
I love the sound of those GT350, honestly...and the tech is likely WAY better.
Not even about that. Kid is still only 2 so she's not a front seat rider just yet.
Pre-snout M3?
991 911 (might break the budget). 997 too old?
Best example of this is one that just hit my notifications:
2006 911 C2S, 6MT, 112k on the clock, not a super desirable spec (gray on black)...$55k lol.
Here's the posting online. I haven't seen the car in person. A friend of mine in the area that I more than trust with this sort of thing, he's more anal retentive about his cars than most of you on here, went out to take a look and gave it a thumbs up.

I get it.
On a far different scale, I want to get the Midge home & start putting miles on it.
Plans, work, extracurriculars, 3 kids, etc. Probably one more trip up to wrench on her, and get the cover built a the house & she'll be home.
Car is home! Long drive, the GT350 is an amazing car but a comfy highway cruiser it is not lol. Not bad place to spend 5-6 hours but any more than that would suck. Super tired last night so no real pics but here's one to keep you guys happy for now. Will take more later, especially after getting it cleaned up.
Car does need a full detail. The dealership armorall'ed the shit out of the interior so that needs to get fixed and the exterior has the usual swirls in the paint that need to get corrected. Good thing I have all next week off of work! Plan on getting this and the Rivian ceramic coated next week if I can. Rivian should be easy given its age and the fact that the only one who has washed it is me. This one may take a bit longer with the DA to get it just right.
Yeah, we had a few Camaros opt for painted stripes via our body shop when I was working for a Chevrolet dealer in college. Long-term better, but a lot more initially.
I've seen some get the tape stripes clear coated over to stop them from lifting/peeling over time, as well.
Vinyl might not have a TON of gloss over it, don't buff that IMO.
I would actually advise you to just go ahead and ceramic that bitch.
It's white, it'll hide most of it.
No idea but I'm taking the Rivian to get the PPF fixed (peeling up in certain areas) tomorrow morning and I'm going to ask them how much to replace the stripes. There's a place online that sells the stripes to DIY but I'm not sure I want to tackle that one. On second thought, I'm just going to leave them alone and get the paint done properly. If I have to replace the stripes, I'll kick that expense out to next year. This year is already expensive enough between the car and the basement finishing.
Anyway, car is all washed up, iron removed (looked like I ran over an animal with how much there was on there), and all set for a date with a clay bar and DA polisher tomorrow morning. Hopefully going to be able to get the ceramic coat on tomorrow late afternoon as well but we'll see. Mustang isn't a big car so it shouldn't take long to clay/polish. Most of the front and rear bumpers are open anyway. Biggest panel is the hood and a lot of it is covered by stripes lol.
