Default Worst 4 hours of my life

Yesterday around 12pm I sold my beloved 2005 Lemans Blue corvette. It was really sad to see it go and I felt a sort of sorrow looking at the empty space in my garage where my corvette lived for the last 8 years.



4 hours later I was driving off the lot with my brand new 2013 Grand Sport.

(sorry for the crappy cell phone pic)







60th edition. 3LT package. 6 speed manual. Grand Sport heritage package. Black wheels with red calipers. Two tone black/red inside with “Grand Sport” on the headrest. F55 suspension (Magnetic Selective Ride Control). DVD/Nav/XM/Bluetooth. ZR1 spoiler. Dual Mode Exhaust. Corvette battery tender. And the best part? My iPhone 5 works with the head unit without any stupid adapter.

The paint has minor some scratches, scuffs and rock chips from sitting at the dealership, test drives, or just people not caring for the car. I agreed to buy the car if they have a body shop take care of all of that. So once that is complete I will Zaino it and take some really good pictures of it.

Should have waited for the 2014 unless you got this 2013 brand new.

If that was the worst four hours of your life, you've certainly been living a very charmed life.

I wouldn't say I don't like the C7 but there is something about the Grand Sport look I really like.

Yeah, I took very good care of my 05. I think I spent more time polishing it than driving it...haha.
