My car finally got here after traveling since April 2nd from BG to CT. She took the scenic route for sure! New chrome wheels going on next week and then the XPEL. What a difference from my 1995, can't stop smiling. Now if the darn weather in CT would only get better, rain coming for most of next week. Already put 250 miles on, 250 more to go!

I would like to thank those of you on here who kindly helped me with all my questions, especially Dan! (Aka Banshee Aka Z51 Cyber Grey w Orange Stripes!) Anne

Its a beauty! What color is that? NRB? CGM? My eyes are being deceptive!

That's no fair, you folks in CT have had a smile on your face ever since UConn won the national championship too.

Looks sharp!!

You are correct! It's NRB with Blue Top and Brownstone interior.
I love the way it shines in the sun, then looks a totally different color as the sun goes down and at night, it looks black until you get closer.

Anne,

I've been waiting for the "My car is here!" post with a picture!

I don't know if you went to the NY Auto show last year, but that was the color combination they used to showcase the C7 convertible. Terrific combination - I wasn't planning on a new C7 until I saw that one (and the one I bought )

I took mine out today but didn't go too far - clouds looked nasty.

I've had mine for a month and I only have 150 miles on it - No way I'm racing you!

The rest of the week looks rainy here in CT, but I hope we'll get a few chances to enjoy our 'Verts in between the showers. (Of course you could call in sick tomorrow - sounds like the best day this week)

Ed
