LoL that's funny! I'd do the same... probably can't sleep every night, go to the garage to sit in it, and then just drive around all over for the heck of it. I'd be talking to it too! Praising & rambling....

Hello Drake Heminger,

If I had a C7, I would find a way to take her for a ride as much as possible too! I am glad you are satisfied and enjoying your Corvette so far. Continue to enjoy the awesome ride. If any concerns or questions arise, don't hesitate to contact us for help.

Sincerely,

I got it so bad (the urge to drive) that I have so far pulled into two neighbor's driveways, knocked on their doors and asked if they needed anything from the store-any store. Someone asked how long have I had the car and I told them a couple of weeks and then remembered that it was only 3 days. I have been useless at all tasks lately, baking muffins, I forgot twice to check the time and then remembered that I forgot what time I started with anyway.
