Default just ordered C7

My C5 was totaled in July. Got a good settlement. Never did like the C6, but the C7 is a great looking ride. Ordered C7 Cyber Grey Metalic, black interior with chrome wheels.

Would never have gotten rid of my C5 if she had not been totaled. Loved that car. Click on photo garage to check her and her mods.

See you guys, always great fun!!!

nice...sorry you had to take such a sad route to get there. Also, many other C5er's will have bypassed C6 on the way to C7.

Might not sell for a while.

Awesome!

They are making many aftermarket parts for them already and have even gotten some in the 9's in the 1/4 mile already with the Squeeze!

Thanks,Matt

Just for SFC Rick, did you order one with the custom Camaro tail lights or did you the one with the Corvette tail lights? How about the fuzzy dice and checkerboard dash?

I keed, I keed..
