The cross-country trip from Riverside, California, to Pennsylvania for the reveal created a father-son experience neither will forget. When the covers came off the Rapid Blue Z06, Castaneda's amazement was evident: “This thing's beautiful, this is crazy.” The moment marked his first time seeing a Z06 in person. This particular Corvette featured custom forged wheels, a titanium exhaust system, and even titanium lug nuts.
Castaneda’s time at headquarters was almost overwhelming. “My experience started with getting the car. Second, working with Mike and his team," he reflected.
In a follow-up with Castaneda, he reports that the family has already personalized his prize. “My son named the car Zoey because of the Z06.” Castaneda also shares that the “best moment has been driving it with my sons and enjoying the drive with them.” He remarks, “My plan for the car is to just enjoy it. It’s going to be our weekend car.”
For skeptics wondering about authenticity, Castaneda offers himself as proof: “I’m an example of this giveaway not being fake. Mike and his company are great people who treated us very well.” His advice to potential entrants is simple: “I would tell people to enter, it can always be you who gets the call.”
