Default Another C7 Convert

Picked up a Lime Rock Green 3LT Z51 Thursday. Traded in my 96' C4. Didn't like the C5 or the C6's when they came out so I just kept hanging on to the C4. This new C7 model caught my eye. Went to the local dealer to just take a look and got hooked. Spent two weeks trying to get a deal and finally broke them down. Absolutely the best stock corvette ever made. I just love this thing.

Wow, Klyde, that is a great looking Stingray! There's a lot of positive to be said about how you purchased it... Old school traditional warrior battle with the local dealership until you won. Pretty cool you waited almost 20 years between vettes.

I finally saw a Lime Rock Green C7 in person. It is a great color. Not as good as Black, but a great color.
