My first parking lot comment
Newbie, with my week and a half old 01Z, silver/chrome.
So as I get to my car with my cart of groceries and pop the trunk open, 2 older gals (60ish?) jump out of their car parked near me. The first question from one of them was, "is this the brand new 2015 model Vette?"
So I chuckled and replied, no mamm, this is an 01 model. They refused to believe me, and jabbered on for a few minutes, and told me it was a total chick mobile.. Haha I almost fell over laughing.
But, my point is that I think the coupe version has a different look that makes it stand out as something different.
Cheers!

I know this is the truth. Makes me glad I was in my 20s twenty years ago. I would have been so frustrated with girls if they had had smart phones back then. In the 90s you actually picked a girl up and went somewhere to talk or you called them on the home phone. I know this sounds like a "back in my days" speech but it's true! Smart phones have really hurt the ability for this generation to be able to communicate and all I see happening is a lack of ability to be social. Ok rant off...

People frequently ask if I bought mine brand new. Sometimes I just don't even feel like explaining to them that I was 7 when it was built.. Makes me wonder if they think I'm a lot older, or if my car is a lot newer.

Getting ready to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary - married my high school sweetheart and we have each other trained pretty well. She thinks the Z06 is hers and the 82 is mine...all I know is I have two corvettes in the garage!
Back to the OP, glad you are enjoying your Z. IMHO the FRC will continue to define modern Corvettes as the Mid-years (63-67) do their generation.
