Default Finally pulled the trigger!

After lusting for years. Got great tips and info lurking here on the forum for months. Drove it 650 miles home from Criswell last weekend. Mike Furman made it a great experience.

Looks great! The best part about the C7 is it truly does not get old fast like the past couple generations of Corvettes.

You will:

Turn to look at it multiple times after exiting.

Go to the garage to just check on it.

Want to drive it all the time.

Have one of the best looking cars on the road

And become part of the brotherhood.
