This car belonged to my friend Bill Bowers who recently passed away. He absolutely loved this car. Its a 2008 C6 LS3 with only 79K miles. After a conversation with his son he convinced me that Bill would want me to have the car, and I wanted it. After a short discussion about a price we shook hands and I drove it home. I believe it means as much to me as it did Bill. I think of him every time I get behind the wheel and hear it rumble.

And my wife is warming up to it. I put the top down and took her for a ride and she said this is fun!

Real nice Bobby, a great tribute to your good friend.  Would love to see it at the Viper Pit in a few weeks.
