I just picked up a 2005 SRT-4, so there will be no more daily driver duty for the Formula. Now it's getting retired to strip/street duty. I'm building her up for the strip and shooting for low 11's on the motor with a radial tire and the manual tranny. This should be fun.

Everyday that I'm home - whenever I drive another car and I'm seen by people, I just want them to all know I have a Z28 and they shouldn't judge me by whatever POS I'm in...

I have driven mine overseas in Greece and while stationed in Washington State it was driven back and forth to Texas 6 times from that location. Then from Cali to Texas, 3 times and now I'm located in GA. I still drive it to work everyday. So far it has never left me stranded.

See signature.
Winters around here aren't bad at all. I don't drive it in the snow, but it hasn't snowed in the two years I have had it.(the year before I bought the Z it snowed ~30" for the winter, including a 15" blizzard

DD here. I only have one car so it isn't really a choice haha. 82k miles, original opti and all the rest of the extremely fallible stuff. I like to live on the edge.
