Fen, did you check for "papers" on those Canada Geese? You don't want the Border Patrol by the Tahoe-load, runnin' all over that freshly mowed lawn seeking "illegal avions"...ESPECIALLY is aforesaid bikini babes are present... That would kill the party in a hurry...

I won't guess so no one can make insider information claims....................even though I don't know.

First guess is from Scarrzz for August 18, which is just around the corner.
I'll bite, because I'm used to winning nothing! Ok now...ummmm...I say September 19th. It's the last Monday before Fall begins later that week. Summers end....bring it on Chevy!

Damn and I was sure the ZL1 would have at least 690 RWHP.

ZZ

That's a beautiful yard, Fen. My place in Louisiana has about 11 acres and much of it has to be mowed, so I feel your pain.

We'll be looking for the bikini girls next.

Multi-purpose "Zs." The first "z" makes it possessive, as in "Scarr's" and the second was originally supposed to be short for Z28, but ever since the Chicago auto show this year that has been repurposed.

Also I used to ride dirt bikes a LOT, so the moniker seemed apt. It's a wonder I didn't kill myself before I graduated college. Flying through the air is just fun.

Thirdly, not long after I came up with it a couple of good friends who happen to be exceedingly hot babes told me, "Ohh 'Scarrzz' is a tough sounding nickname. I like it... It fits you." It has stuck ever since then.

ZZ Top is also one of my favorite bands, so that is frosting on top. I enjoy double and triple meanings, or as many as you can stack on. I'm honestly surprised anyone even thought to ask, but since you did, there Ya go.

Take no prisoners today, guys. TGIF !

I bet the HP numbers and pricing is mysteriously "leaked" just before the L.A. Auto show, then GM will open the flood gates of info for the ZL1.
