I Spy
I met a disguised (Zebra wrapped) C7 just outside of Eagles Nest, NM last week on the road to Red River. It was going the opposite direction and there was no place to turn around and get a picture. The rear tailights were visable from my rear view mirror showing it was clearly a C7.
Just down the road I spotted another one pulled over on the side of the road. This one was not disguised.
I pulled over and and tapped on the window surprising the woman inside who was busy tapping away on a laptop. I asked if I could take pictures and she hesitantly gave permission as long as long as I didn't capture her in the picture; thus all the photos are from the rear and side. I assume she just didn't want her photo all over the Internet and I respected the request.
You can tell from the license and monitors on the car it was a GM test vehicle, but otherwise I don't see anything that makes me think it was anything other than the base C7, but I'm no expert. I listened as it pulled out onto the road and the exhaust was mild, but it was going very slowly.
Any thoughts?

Thanks, there's one more photo shot directly from the rear of the car out there now. To others, if you click on the little camera icon from the link I provided it will show the photos. Sorry, for my ignorance on posting photos on the forum.
