Default Okay, Who Was It?

Went up to QFC to buy a few items and spotted a new C7 in white at Starbucks in Sammamish. Temp plates and a Good Chevrolet frame on rear license.

I'm still trying to figure out if I like these enough to order one and that white one was stunning. It had the "transparent" top fitted which isn't my favorite feature. I'll bet it looks even better (to me) with the body colored top on.

A beautiful C7 in any event.

Who was it?

These things are starting to show up all over the plateau lately. Starting to threaten the Cadillac Escalade as the "Official Car of Plateaupia"

we are seeing more and more down here! After Ken took his to the WVCA meeting in Salem, now 2 more members have them ordered. But, it isn't just the looks which I LOVE, it is everything else about the car. Handling,ride,electronics, etc,etc!!!
I told him when he decides to get a 2015 or 2016, he can give me his 2014, even 'tho I love my C5Z!

I see a cyber grey one every morning on 405 south heading to Renton. Waiting to see a green one. Cyber grey is just not that exciting to me. It hides all the cool features of the car.

I saw my first one last week and did a double take. I'm so used to seeing them online and in magazines that I forgot I hadn't yet seen one in person.

Down here, I've only seen 3 other C7s. One yellow, one red and one silver.

(guess they can say they've seen a blue one!)

The green C-7 is stunning IMHO. Having been to Spring Mountain this spring I got to see and drive all the colors on the track. If I had to choose I think the green would be at the top of my color list for a new car. However, I like the white, the blue, the red.

I'll take one of each please! That way I can drive whichever color I'm in the mood for that day.

Ah George I knew that you were a fellow with good taste when I met you at Walter's get together. How I wish that GM was smart enough not to limit the green to just one year. I guess that there were just not enough of us with good taste
