DropTopGal is a Vette Gal Again!

I'm a Vette Gal again!! Took delivery of my (ok, our) 2017 Grand Sport today.

Arctic White, Adrenaline Red, 3LT, ground effects and more... $84k MSRP

These are just two quick iPhone pics but more to come and soon. The GS is now parked in the garage and won't be driven until Friday when it goes to the shop for a "clear condom" (hubby talk) and window tint.
Then we have some small but neat mods to put on the car. You'll see... it will be "car sexy".

In person, the GS looks so NICE! These pics don't do it justice, we were in a bit of a rush today to get home.

Oh, best part... we got one heck of a deal!! Almost $3k below supplier / military pricing. Imagine that!!

BTW.... We initially ordered a Torch Red with carbon black stripes but my hubby was in Kentucky at a doctor seminar and saw this color combo in person a couple of months ago and sent me pics. I liked it immediately. There were 25 new Grand Sports at the dealership today and every person who was there admired this color combo more than any other. Go figure. (Choke on my tire smoke "Corvette Forum Editors"

)

So fellow Corvette enthusiasts... DropTopGal is back in the Vette house

DropTopGal's new 2017 Grand Sport 3LT. I'm a Vette Gal again!

Very nice...interior almost looks like spice red! By law I don't think you're allowed to keep that handle "DropTop" since you didn't get a vert! I shall consult The Book of Vettes for guidance...

I don't think "DropTop" refers to the car.....

Beautiful Car!

Looks good.
You'll be easy to notice. You better wave when I see you on the streets

Good looking car. Welcome back to the Corvette group. Once Corvettes get into your system, it's hard to stay away from one. (Been there, done that.)

Red, White, and Blue

Now go rack up 500 miles and watch your tach (there will be a ring around your tach until you hit 500 miles encouraging you to not red line before break in is over)
