Congrats! So rare to see corvettes, let alone C7's around Alberta. Dealerships are either selling them close to 90k or don't have them.

Is "KMS" a new option? Just kidding, your car is beautiful. You will LOVE this car!

My wife insists on visting Calgary/Banff/Lake Louise this September, further insists she is not interested in driving our C7 from MI to Alberta. Is your car for rent then?

Have fun.
