Default Laguna Blue/Adrenaline Red pics

After being the first to take delivery of a C7 on Long Island yesterday, I figured I'd take some pictures today. A lot of you seemed curious to see the result of my $590 color override (a/k/a the Chevy shakedown).


















My favorite picture however is when my butt hit the driver's seat for the first time

We used to have a white background for NY plates. They went nicely with any color car. Then Governer Spitzer got caught with hookers, resigned and we got Governer Paterson as an interim. These ugly plates were instituted during Paterson's time in office. It was said only a blind person could have picked these things. And you guessed it, PATERSON WAS LEGALLY BLIND!

you're like me, everything has to be perfect including the flags pointing at the valve stems.

I would be a brave man if I ordered that color combination. Not because it doesn't look good but because I'm on my old High School's reunion committe with red and blue the school colors. The problem is my wife graduated from my schools arch rival with the colors green and white.

The red calipers on black wheels do help too.

At least once in the past, Corvettes came w. a red interior and blue exterior as an option (GS, '96). This is a good combo. Of course some won't like it but I do. Very nicely done; great setting for the pics, too.

I live in NY as well...3 months on my C6 without a front plate. There is a bill in the legislature to eliminate the front plate requirement....so I expect that is why there have been no hassles. Haven't seen any other Vettes in my area with front plates either.

While I am not ordinarily a huge fan of red interiors, it looks really good against the blue exterior.

That is the color I intend to have on my C7 in 2014. It looks great. Congratulations.
