Default C7 Nod

Was at the Corvette Expo this weekend in Sevierville, TN. Got some waves of course, however, I got a nod and the peace sign from a red C7.

Actually, it starts at $51k USD and $53k CAD. Pretty cheap actually considering that's how much a loaded Camaro SS costs!

I was at the Chevy Store to look at a couple C5's they have and this was out front.





I love it. Can't afford one yet, but I love it.

I must have a different prescription for my glasses because both those C7s look perfect to me. I wouldn't change anything on the design.

Got the same thing from a VW the other day, but I try not to take it personally.
