Got my '15 1LT Stingray
This is my first Corvette ever, and a long time waiting. I'm 42 (nearly 43) and had the Corvette as one of my dream rides since very young.
My hardcore racing days are over, which means I won't hack away at the car with mods on day 1. And so this 1LT/NRB/Jet Black/PDR/A8 will serve as a super-touring coupe and kind of like a poor man's Aston Martin. Hence, the base exhaust, base suspension, and base wheel/tire package suit me perfectly. This color looks really good for the base silver painted wheels and "Z71-esque off-road package looking OE wheel well gap
".
Two props: MacMulkin Chevrolet in Nashua, NH was an amazing dealer from price to professionalism. Silver Star Chevrolet IN Thousand Oaks served as the courtesy delivery dealer and Ken Zarkowski (who's mainly a Land Rover sales manager) was super friendly and happy to do the delivery for dirt cheap, compared to other local area dealers, who either refused or wanted too much money. I used to sell cars for 4 years, so I can recognize a good car buying experience. The custom order, drop shipment, and courtesy delivery exceeding my expectations.
Best of all, I'm join one of the coolest car owner circles in the automotive kingdom.

I see where your key fob is. I carry mine in my pocket. My son asked me what that hole was for, I told him there was probably to get to a screw in there. I learn something new about this car everyday!~

I bought a 07 1LT and didn't get all the controls on the steering wheel. Drove it for 89,000 miles before I traded for my 2015 C7. The 1LT is growing up. Happy first Vette. I remember the feeling. My first was a 1978 one year used. It didn't even have a cassette player. Enjoy your new car.
