Just got the '07 loaded. First Vette, although I have driven a few. I am in love.

Did you always park your car on a rug, or is this special for the NEW CORVETTE ? ? ?

And does the significant other know where the living room rug went ?

Enjoy the heck out of your beautiful new car.

Congratulations....drive safe and enjoy! Nice color selection as well.

I noticed your fluorescent light bulbs....a caution....I recently had a fluorescent light bulb fall about 10' onto the hood of my Vette (what are the odds?). It did some damage to the paint that won't buff out! I have since installed a simple 'sling' under the bulbs so even if one were to fall...it's not going to hit my car.

It's a real long-shot but you might want to check yours
