2007 Corvette C6 Z06
 
Okay, first I'll post the proof pics and get them out of the way. Sorry about the fogginess, I keep my house cold and it's humid out and the battery was about to die, so I just snapped 2.

Nice welcome.. hehe ;)

Of course he could be a young super athelete that just got drafted... ;)

Nice car... hope you keep it right side up long enough to get us some ontrack video to enjoy.

OK, I can see why you are digging up old post now. Bad, but at least I feel better now. Great car dude.

TNT 08-27-2006 11:58 PM

my GOD!!!! i also assume that you didn't pay for that. but who cares. plan on modding or no? :good:

RC45 08-28-2006 12:02 AM

^^ Yeah - modding is essential.. cause a 3100lb 505bhp car is really no good out the box.. ;)

Now that was funny.. ROTLMAO... :P

MHaynes772 08-28-2006 12:26 AM

I am a partner in a company call PHP Diversified, LLC. and am partners in a hardware store called Magnolia Southern Hardware (mainly cabinet knobs, bath room hardware, tubs, sinks, etc) and it really helps that my dad is in the construction company. Also, yes, my dad did help pay for it. Not mommy, haha, she likes the car but wouldn't have any part in buying it.


Also, don't worry, the car will stay upright. I sold my E55 AMG and 772rwhp Supra to get this car. I've also have had a few other high performance vehicles, and have had an instructor while driving at Texas World Speedway, so, I think I'll be okay. Thanks for all the nice comments!


PS- Sorry for digging up old threads, but damn, I needed 25 post, lol.

first off congratulations on your very fast car :) it looks great!

second, i think i've seen these photos somewhere before, and i can't put my finger on it. If you ever make your way up through Michigan, I'll hint out at some nice roads ;)

is it much quieter then the o6's?

MHaynes772 08-28-2006 12:35 AM

RC45 08-28-2006 12:37 AM

Interesting - why so many cars?

Do you not enjoy driving and getting to know a car?

TT 08-28-2006 08:40 AM

Not a bad car at all, and you seem to have already quite a nice car ownership background and such young age! Lucky you!

salegosse 08-28-2006 09:00 AM

Congrats. :twisted:

MHaynes772 08-28-2006 11:39 AM

NTHFINITY- I have that same camera. Takes great pics.

blackenzo 08-28-2006 12:04 PM

nice; somehow they make such unending torque in those cars :)

rave426 08-28-2006 12:52 PM

Very, very nice Mhaynes. I would like to get one next year when I graduate, but I think it will be out of my range first year out. Maybe a second hand one?

Anyway, congrats on your ride. I always thought those painted wheels with silver or blue exterior was the best color. For some reason most of th Z06's i see dont have the painted wheels. Beats Me.

Welcome!

MHaynes772 08-28-2006 04:54 PM

No, not my Dads Lambo or M5. Just some buddies in FL I took pics with. Thanks!

coloradosilver 08-28-2006 05:00 PM

Welcome to the Corvette club. Time to start the mods.

I'm looking to trade mine in for a new silver Z06 as well. Congrats!

Nice - so you drove down to Florida? Great that you are putting miles on the car - how many total miles so far?

Do you lease or buy? Milage limitations always kept me away from leasing.

rave426 08-28-2006 06:56 PM

^^^ I want to lease, but I afraid that i will be tossing money away and after 2 years I will have to start over :(

afraid? no; thats just what i'd be doing.... but... there are advantages to leasing... but driving isn't one of them.

rave426 08-28-2006 09:09 PM

My mind would be much more at ease if the Imp. STI or the Evo were RWD. I wouldnt have this extremely hard decision to make. Well I guess I will put up a thread on it when I am getting ready to do something - get the JW opinions on what I should do. :wink:

MHaynes772 08-28-2006 09:58 PM

Paid cash for the car...And yes, I drove it to Florida. I have 3300 miles on the car right now...Had it since July 19th. 1200 miles are from driving back from Bowling Green, KY to Madison, MS and then from Madison, MS to Destin, FL and back.

RC45 08-28-2006 10:30 PM

How long are you keeping the cars? You seem to have turned over the cars pretty quickly.

koenigsegg 08-28-2006 11:43 PM

TNT 08-29-2006 02:12 AM

damn you people with your lucky breaks. i have a friend that works at a law office and can make nearly 50K a year and is in high school still. I know construction can make some mad money but what does your mom do? You all must have some good income. :mrgreen: sorry if i am digging in your life.

MHaynes772 08-29-2006 07:54 AM

Actually my mom does not work. She just plays golf. LOL. And my Dad owns the construction company and he's mainly into commercial but still does some residential.

saadie 08-29-2006 08:25 AM

golf .... lol .... .nahh man .. that dosnt sound right :lol: .....

cools cars you got ....

C6 Z is deffinetly the first Corvetter that i reallly like 8) 8)

DeMoN 08-29-2006 08:44 AM

From the list of cars you listed, I prolly would have kept the C6 too. Either that or the 6 series bmw. Who am i kidding, I like speed too much so I'd choose C6 lol.

Also, how'd you become a partner in two different companies by the age of 19...?

Cheers, and welcome to JW

My Dad def. helped with the partners thing not doubt. Also, I do not live in Texas. I live in Madison, MS, but I attend the TX2K* Supra/Viper meet every March and thats where and when I've driven at TWS. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I can't wait to take the Z06 out there. When's and what's JW fun run. You can PM me if you'd like, I'd like to know more about it. Thanks again!
