It’s like a chameleon, gets light blue at times and almost navy blue at others. EB is truly an amazing color but you gotta keep it shinny.

We all have this problem of not being able to quit looking at the cars. I find myself making up excuses just to go to the garage and stare at the car.

You know some people here in Oklahoma ( and other places as well i assume ) buy land with the intention of building a house. Yet before they build the house they quickly build a nice size storage building with garage doors ( say a 20x40, 30X40, etc. ) and then they run plumbing and electricity and actually live there till their house gets built. Once their house is built, the outbuilding becomes a shop. Well my point is, if they live in the outbuilding then they actually can say they sleep with their Corvettes. Sounds dumb but i have thought about that.

I've had mine for six months now and still have a huge permagrin. At times I still don't believe that I finally got one. I still look back at it everytime I park somewhere. I usually go out to the garage once a night to look at it. And when it's out in the driveway I always have to take a few minutes and walk around it and admire it's beautiful, clean lines. What a car.
