Congratulations...just beautiful ! I am jealous of you because I'm still waiting and because you have a daughter...as terrific as they are we only have boys in our family for some reason. Enjoy the journey.

PS...Noticing the winter garb I'm just curious how car handled in the cold as I'll likely have a 150 mile trip from dealer in dead of winter ?

I would highly recommend David Wellington JR. He was unlike any car salesman I have every meet. He had all the documents laid out for me along with a complete run down on the car that I had to cut short due a family commitment .

I heading back to the dealership soon for the training on the car.

The seat look just like the 2lt minus the chrome corvette logo..... they feel amazing and heat up quickly even with no heating. I drove in 15 degree weather today with no issues.

I have logged 100 miles so far, no issues in negative degree weather driving conditions.

I would like to note that is the first time corvette has sold in Europe, were winter driving is must. Does anyone remember the spy shot of the C7 a year in the full camo and 3" of snow???

I do too, that big spoiler just doesn't do it for me. Looks like a Playskool Corvette, especially when you add a set of the overdone Z-51 wheels.

I included my daughter in the delivery, drove home together and have to admit the car was overwhelming. The power, technology, style, finish and comfort with no comprises. The car has surpassed my expectation by 1,000%, it's one heck of a value.
