I won't forget. Until I started reading this forum, I thought the wave was just a Jeep thing.

Copngrats! Excellent choice in color, although I might be a bit biased

I've owned four Corvettes prior to my C7. Two C5's and two C6's. Loved all but one. The C7 is a mind blower!!

Be prepared for a continuous smile on your face every time you walk into the garage, jump in the saddle and head out for the road.

That's exactly what I am searching for! Torch red Z51 with chrome wheels. Mine must be a manual with MSRC. That's really all that I want/need. Congrats on your first. Hoping to join you very soon
