It looks very nice, but in order for it to feel at home with most of the rest of the C7's during this tough winter, you need some snow in the picture.

Thank you. I wanted silver painted wheels, but I picked a C7 with everything else I wanted while it was on a truck going (in the wrong direction) from the factory to Kerbeck in Atlantic City. I settled on chrome wheels and now I really like them.

Default OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: “Big Red”



There are many nice cars roaming our highways and byways, but occasionally you encounter cars that go beyond nice — the types of cars that have an aura about them.

Congrats George! That is a great honor! I can only assume your car still has the Delco battery and not an Optima??

Five miles to go: 500 mile break in. Time for a nice, long Sunday drive up Pacific Coast Highway, top down, of course.

I have your twin in Vegas. The only difference is the wheels are not chrome and I have the CF dash.

I have found that people really love the CRM paint. I've gotten many compliments on the color.
