You probably won't miss the Red after awhile because it wasn't one like this... But it's so many colors depending on the light. I think that blue will probably be the same and you surely enjoyed the Red while you had it. Better than a Jeep any day. Post some pictures of the inside too.
As mentioned before, I hadn't really seriously considered having a blue Vette. it was always going to be RED for me. But honestly, I never did like the appearance of all of the black vents and scoops next to the bright red of the Torch Red car. Don't know what it is, but I wasn't too crazy about it. With the dark blue, those black pieces don't stand out so much.

I gave it its first bath today...2 buckets, gravel guard in each, new wash mitten, even got a new leaf-blower to dry it off. Took a while, but I'm pretty sure I left no swirl marks. It might look OK for the show this Sunday.

As requested, here are some pics...ordered the Lloyd's mats the first day I had it.

Better looking in person Joe!

Congratulations on a beautiful car.

Gone But Not Forgotten..... I see we have a New/Old handle here today. Just noticed it anyway. Thought it might be Blue Thunder but that was probably taken..

No, not sleeping in the garage....although I do spend a lot of time there just looking at it and learning all the controls on the infotainment system. Lots to learn! I popped an SD card in the slot inside the glove box the other day and recorded part of a trip I took on the freeway. Nothing exciting, just wanted to see how the PDR device works with all of the overlays you can choose from.

Blue Thunder.... I kinda like it and prolly would have used it but I've been Red Racer for about 10+ years and wanted to keep that connection. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

It's easy to change your username. Just send a PM to administrator savewave and make your request. He did it within a day of my asking him.
