C7 Sighting
Saw this today on I69 south in Fort Wayne. Was only able to snap these two pics and a drive by video as we passed because the man driving (middle aged man, younger woman in passenger seat) was driving like a complete douche.
I must say, was NOT at all a fan of the C7 by online pics but in person I couldn't stop drooling. Car looked to have the orange/red interior and Michigan plates.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Interesting in white. Black Z51 wing looks cool. It's good to see so many on the roads doing long term testing. A lot of exotic manufacturers can't do this nearly as well.

I pretty much like everything about the styling of the C7, including the much more modern taillights.
But is there any reason they have a round gas cap door? It kind of looks goofy with the rest of the car's angular and modern design. It's obviously more apparent on a white car due to the shadowing. Good thing mine will be CRT.

Thanks for posting photos.
I have been a Corvette guy for a long, long time - OK I'm old. And I love em all. But for the life of me, every time I see a photo of the back of the C7 taken from any distance, I immediately think, "new Pontiac Trans Am Firebird". I'm hoping time will have me grow more fond of the rear view, cuz otherwise it's a remarkable evolution of the Corvette.
