Default Picked up my new C7 on Thursday

I have been looking at the new C7 since they came out and knew I would need to get one some day. My next door neighbour and I have talked about selling him my C5 that I bought new for the last year and we finally did a deal on Tuesday. He is a happy guy and the delivery next door was easy. I found my new car in Calgary and managed to work a great deal and picked it up after work on Thursday. Temp was +15C and the roads in Calgary were clear and dry so I was able to drive it home without getting it dirty.

2015 Z51 3LT Automatic with suede competition seats.


While searching I found several other cars that were in the running so if anyone is in the market they are out there and there are deals to be had. Let me know if you would like to chase one down and I can connect you with the dealers:

2015 Shark coupe red interior Z51 3LT Auto was close but wife could not take the color (BC)
2014 torch & adrenalin 3LT coupe with comp seats Auto (BC)
2015 torch / black coupe 2LT standard (AB)
2015 shark / black coupe standard (AB)
2015 black / black coupe (AB)

Very nice looking C7!

The C7 was the first modern Corvette to temp me into selling mine and buying one. The first time I saw a C7 in person was in the GM display at the 2013 ALMS race at Road America; it was white with a red/black interior, and I was in love!!

Lucky guy! Enjoy! I was in Florida for four days recently and I saw more than 50 C7s in that short period of time! And every single one that I saw made me stop in my tracks, I think they just look so exotic! I want a C7 so bad!

Congrats on the C7.

Yep, there are lots here in Florida. My neighbour has one. I swear I see more of them than C5's or C6's. Probably my imagination.

Time to upgrade the logo on your garage wall.
