Default C7 newbie

Hello to everyone. I’ve been a member in the C6 forum since 2007. I’m on my 4th vette with the purchase of my C7 yesterday. I live N. Dakota so I try to get as much riding time as I can during the short summers. I’ll probably have plenty of questions of forum members as I explore my C7 over the next few years. So, Just wanted to say hi, I’ll be around.

Congrats. You're joining a good bunch with a lot of good info. (And a few weirdos like all forums have.) What color? Options? We need to know...
