So I head out to go get some ice during US Nationals in Indy this past week. This was Friday I think. So I turn onto the road thats on the west end of IRP, I mean ORP, whatever. Sittin in this trailer park is a beautiful red/red Ty. So I bust a u turn and head back. Pull up next to it, and there a guy in his 60s probably in it. So I start to talk to him. His brother in law bought it. Whether he bought it new or used, I don't know, he said it was his pride and joy for a long time, so I imagine probably purchased new. Not registered on sportmachines either, so add another original red/red to the books. Anyways, his brother in law died last year, so he took it. New owner knows nothing about them. I told him I had a Garnet Red one, and he imediately jumped out of the truck wanting me to drive it because the "blower" was making noise, and it shifted really hard. I'm like, dude, I don't even know you, I'm not driving your truck, yet. Told him the hard shift is normal, but would have to hear the TURBO noise to see if it's normal or not. So he proceeds to tell me that he has something like 14 vettes, including a C6 Z06. Guy lives about 20 mins north of me. His brother in law was from Cali, and it still had CA plates on it. Only 21k miles. Not a rock chip or scratch on it. Engine compartment looked brand new. But here's the deal. Chrome ZR1 wheels, cross-drilled rotors, Borla exhaust, and a Kenne Bell cold air intake. The owner knows nothing about them, so he told me the next time the local syty people get together, to let him know and he'll bring it out. So we go back to the track. He was meeting some friends that were racing out there. I go back to the trailer to get my camera to take a couple pics of it. Only 2.
