Nice daily driver. I have to say GM could take some styling ques from the interior. Top of the line ZR1, Z06 and what do you get, a Chevy Colbalt steering wheel. I was looking at the Genesis Coup also and thought they did a damn good job with the interior.

The richest part of a child's inheritance is education provided by their parents. Great gift from a selfless dad!

Good luck. I hope he does well with this opportunity!

Well, you did it for the right reason. Take good care of it, keep the resale/trade as high as possible and move back into a 2015/2015 C7!
