Giant rounds of Norfolk pine and cedar cut yesterday and on the curb as I drove by today—in the ZO6 Corvette. Fun watching me wrestle these into the seat. Didn’t dare try to put them in the rear hatch.

Nice job buckling them in, haha.
Otherwise the seat belt alarm dings and with my driving, they’d likely have gone through the windshield.
That's funny
The sap and bark on the leather!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wow ..... if I had a Corvette I wouldn't even put a Snakewood or Pink Ivory log on the seat! Rent a truck or van, Alan.

If you get a pink ivory log, give me a call and I'll drive up and transport it for you. Of course, it might be a little smaller when it arrived at your house....

That was my first thought!!!The sap and bark on the leather!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Or in a high speed right turn the top one may have tried to join you in the drivers seat.
You are my hero. Not being able to resist the idea of free wood and putting it in a Vette. I love it.
Time to trade in the Corvette for a pickup!
Keeping the Corvette. FWIW, leather is fine and wood safely at home. Friend offered his pickup—problem is, I was 40+ miles from home and 60+ miles from his home when I ran across the timber. I think I’ll keep a moving pad in the car for future finds.
Haters gonna hate. Good for you
Just put a big trailer hitch on the back and pull a small trailer around, no one will notice
Back in the day a lot of the muscle cars had trailer hitches on them. Even the black ghost hemi challenger had a hitch on it so the owner could haul motorcycles.
This Vette has 650 horsepower and is 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. It is a manual 7 speed produced the very last month they made a manual trans—all Corvettes are now automatic. It’s my 4th one and the best car I’ve ever owned.Just put a big trailer hitch on the back and pull a small trailer around, no one will notice
I don't suppose you could put a trailer hitch on it, it should have enough power. Bet that would look real classy going down the street with a load of wood in a trailer.
Reminds me of an old joke. "I did something today I've wanted to do for 40 years. I bought a 1984 Corvette."
Is the ride on the Z07 a lot stiffer than the base model?
Don’t know. ZO6 has several different suspension settings—track, tour, sport, weather, and I think one more. Still pretty stiff.
