Default C7 Spotted
I was on my way from Nashville to Oberlin Ohio on Friday the 14th. Just outside of Bowling Green heading North I spotted a Corvette like car up ahead. When I caught up, it was a White C7 tooling along about 70. My impression is that it is a keeper. It looked lower than my C5 and sleeker.

After passing it at around 75 MPH, I was about a half mile ahead when I noticed it coming up behind me but then it got off the next exit.

Really cool!

I do not take pic's while driving along at 75 MPH! By now, you should know what a C7 looks like?
