Default Back in a Corvette!

I had my First Corvettes starting in 2007. I sold them in mid 2009 and moved back to a few Mustangs. However after having my 2011 Mustang replaced by Ford and not being completely satisfied with the 2012 Mustang replacement, I happened on a Corvette with a great deal and jumped at it.

2012 1LT 6 spd coupe with chrome. Nothing but a lightweight car with a big engine.

I've only had the car now for a couple days, but I did get some shots up in Estes Park yesterday.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. Idiot me forgot to make sure the battery for my Camera was charged.

Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying being in this car again. I generally make a 4.5 mile bicycle ride in to the office during the week.

As you can probably imagine, that's not happening this week!

Very nice. I also opted the no frills beast. Kind of like the late 60's early 70's. All drive line/body and no un-needed baggage.

Thanks again everyone! Now the goal is to get it thoroughly broken in as quickly as possible. I'd like to be able to take it out to High Plains Raceway with NASA Rocky Mountain on the 26-27th of may.
