Default Owner's review of the C7

Last week I took delivery of my first Corvette, a 2014 Stingray ragtop. I wrote a review of the car on my blog Bood's Reviews. It is from a non-gearhead owner's perspective. I included a number of photos as well.

The long and short of it is that I love most everything about the car and find few irritants.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The more I look at and drive this car the more I love it. You have good reason to be psyched.

As for the rest of the inane dribble on NPR, I want my Tax Money back.

XM Classic for me. A little Steely Dan, Beatles and Eagles does it.

Don't need to be depressed by the time I get to work.
If it works for you, then enjoy.

Great review! Sometimes you need to hear from people who aren't worried about another 0.0001s/lap and just want to have a fun car.

Car Talk? The novelty wore off in about 1995 and since then it's been nothing more than a couple of guys who get laughs seemingly only by laughing at each other and hoping you'll follow. I don't. The only funny part is the credits and you can get those online.

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me? Most hilarious and worthwhile show in radio history.
