Does it ever get old?
I Purchased a 2014 2LT Z51 M7 a few months ago. I have put about 2k miles on it since I have had it, already installed Texas Speed headers and off road pipe. And I can't get enough of driving around in it. I look forward on nice days to getting home, getting out of the company car and needing to go somewhere just so I can drive the Corvette.
I don't remember it being like this for any of my other cars. The last 11 cars have been Mustangs, with the nicest being the 2012 with a TVS supercharger on it(was stupid fast, and makes the current Corvette feel a little slow when I stomp on it). I enjoyed driving the 5.0, but not as much as I like driving the 14 Z51. Just need to pull the trigger on a A&A kit.
Biggest reason I bought the Corvette was for the removable roof.

The corvette is just a fun car to drive. I too had a supercharged car, a cts-v before buying my current 14 coupe. I do miss the supercharged power but that said I can't remember ever enjoying the V as much as I enjoy my corvette.

2015 Z51 Crystal Red and I feel the same way you do. Love to drive the car. When you catch Corvette fever there is no cure the only temporary relief is to get behind the wheel and exercise the horses.

Bad news eventually yes it gets old. You will be in the showroom shopping for another toy, could be another Vette or something completely different. It will happen.

I only gets old when the car gets old, buy another and it starts all over again.

Driving a Corvette has never gotten old for me. It always puts a smile on my face.

Going on 1 year owning this car, and every time I get in it, I still get the same feeling I got the first day I bought it. Always looking for a reason to drive somewhere.

One of the few advantages of living in Minnesota is that my C7 will feel new every spring!

Approaching one year of ownership of our 2016 Z51 7M coupe and it hasn't gotten old yet. It's funny how a trip to the convenience store can turn into a 100-mile joy ride. Based on the 12 years I owned a 1983 944, I don't expect it to ever get old.
