Default C7 Spotted

I was on my way from Nashville to Oberlin Ohio on Friday the 14th. Just outside of Bowling Green heading North I spotted a Corvette like car up ahead. When I caught up, it was a White C7 tooling along about 70. My impression is that it is a keeper. It looked lower than my C5 and sleeker.

After passing it at around 75 MPH, I was about a half mile ahead when I noticed it coming up behind me but then it got off the next exit.

Really cool!

Good. Keep up the role model attitude. You don't know how many people I see driving stupidly when using their phones.

Excuses excuses , you should have driven at 100 mph park on the shoulder open the hood to pretend you had car trouble, and then take a few shots as the C7 passes you.

Just kidding mate

lol usually when there's a thread title about a C7 spotted or in the wild, etc. the thread contains pics, so your thread title gives that perception can't blame people for being disappointed after reading it.

I bet the idea for the OP was to post to people in his/her area that there was a white C7 on the loose. Maybe someone else had a similar experience, who knows.
