Yup ! And a Harley Davidson Tri Glide. Had to give up the year old Ultra Classic Limited Low because of circulation issues in my legs. Diabetes sucks big time.

Congrats on the V. it's a beautiful fun car. My best friend just traded his for a New Z06 a week after i bought mine.

Tried the suv route two years ago when we took the wee ones to MO to ride the cave jeeps and boats. S/o declared she'd stay home next time if I ever took the Denali again.It went by by when I bought the '16 Stingray

Default Dubious Honor

So the car is going to auction. When they listed it on the Dallas Manheim Auction, it came in as the highest milage 2016 C7. Well duh ? With just under 40k on it ..................

I tested the Recaros when I bought my CTS-V Coupe.
It took exactly 2 seconds for me to hop back out of the car and order the standard seats.

I'll learn to live with them. For a 18% discount off msrp, I sure as hell wasn't going to thumb my nose at the deal. Considering the '17 had a price increase of over $1k ............ A no brainer taking a leftover '16. The price increase basically covers GM's cost of Spring Mountain. So the buyer still pays for it even if they never go.

Hope you can...if these Recaros are the same as the ones in the CTS-V, you are a tougher man than I.

That's a terrific price.

The ones I tested where like sitting on a concrete bench.
I initially thought the salesman was playing a joke on me.

Won't really be an issue. She does not like riding in the front as a passenger. She'd just as soon ride in the back with the granddaughter.
