Default C7 spotted

Was in my C5Z on the Beltway's Inner Loop this afternoon and spotted a White C7 coming up on my right flank. He slowed down and I gave him a thumbs up to which he responded in kind.

The C7 looked pretty impressive rolling down the freeway, both from the front and the rear. I might even get used to those trapezoidal tail lights in time...

Yeah I saw my first one up fairly close at an intersection last week about 1/2 mile from my neighborhood. It was read and the guy was babying it...sad to say.

Why is it sad that he was babying it? Not many people beat on their engine fresh from the showroom floor...

It's common practice to put some easy miles and an oil change on it to break in a fresh engine before giving her hell, whether you subscribe to that school of thought or not

As a truck driver and being all over I have seen several. I still get more excited seeing the C5Z than the new C7s. My wife and I were talking about them and she even thought they looked less like a CORVETTE and more like a European Exotic; such as a Ferrari. Guess it will have to grow on my also.
