Default picked up my C-7 tonight

I've kept my 2001 Convertible, but I now have a C-7 in the garage too.
Pictures soon

I bet the smell of a new Corvette smells the best.

you guys are killin' me, sheesh I stlll got 11 payments left on my beat up old '99...I'm a little jealous..

but hey today it's cold windy and raining here in Boulder City which is rare. I'm taking the C5 out for a bath, probably couldn't do that with a brand new C7 still in the wraps..

Congrats on the new cars, you guys will be like having a couple of C7 spies over here.

I also plan to join the C7(Z) club in 2016.

I'm definitely leaning 3LZ/Stage II (non Z07) as it will be primarily a street driver with occassional track time. I'm going back-n-forth between Arctic White/Adreneline Red or Long Beach Red/Jet Black w/Red stitching, exterior/interior combos, however right now I'm leaning Arctic White as it has such a great in your face sports car look with the contrasting carbon flash vents. Those same vents sort of disappear against the darker Long Beach Red.

In the meantime, I will continue to drive my C5 "beater," which I plan to keep as well!
