Default Thanks Marcus
I'm nearly 3 weeks past hip surgery and still 100% on the walker due to complications. Appreciate Marcus coming over and giving the Z06 a nice top-down cleaning. She looks great. Still only 200 miles on her, so no ripping to 8,600 RPM anytime soon.

Thanks my friend! I hope so too. The past 18 months have been horrible, and to have hit the complications that force me to go back under the knife, now knowing the level of effort to recover from that surgery, is daunting. This entire journey is testing my mental fortitude.

If need be, I think you'd find several volunteers here who could help you with that. Car looks great, BTW!

Marcus, Scott, and of course my race club members would all be candidates, but I CAN drive the car. I will be the first to rip it hard, not only for the 0-60, but to also hear the glorious 8,600 RPM scream of a 5.5L FPC.

There will be MULTIPLE cameras at that undertaking.

Happy to do it. Still enjoy detailing, even in the Florida sun. The new Z is a special car and is enjoyable to work on.

Can't wait to hear this thing roar at WOT.
