Default Happy New Owner

I stopped at the local Autozone last night and lo and behold....there was a beautiful Torch Red C7. I chatted with the owner for a few minutes and he was thrilled with his new ride....and rightfully so. As much as I like my C6 vert, there's no denying the presence of this new design.

Autozone eh? I hope he wasn't there buying up sheep skin seat covers and chrome door ding guards

On a side note, I'm liking the base wheels and no spoiler look more and more! z51 wheels seem to flat faced

The car looks so much cleaner and wider without the spoiler. I wish there was a spoiler delete option with the Z51.

I am a happy 1500 trouble free miles new owner. Love that color!

I wouldn't have paid extra for the spoiler alone on my Z51 but I like it. I like the car without it too. It is a stunning car either way.
