I go through the garage every day to get into the house, and I invariably always give my C7 a second look, sometimes even a third. She is just gorgeous and brings me joy just looking at her. When I can get inside of her and take her for a ride (hey no dirty thoughts allowed) that is when I really appreciate her.

I check on my garaged 14 vert every morning before I go to work and every afternoon when I get home. Living in South Carolina, my driving season is a bit longer than most, but the car still sits in the garage for several weeks during the winter...
She is here now:
But warmer days are coming!

One of my neighbors told me that the Vette was a Phallic symbol. I said, but when I'm driving it's like being in a warm, comfortable............(put your own ending here)

Been there done that. Pull up a chair in the garage, turn on the stereo and sit and look at the vette while drinking a glass of merlot. Study all the curves and think about what it's capable of.
I typically go out to garage every evening before going to bed to make sure everything is closed up and get one more look at that fantastic car.

My wife and I visited Florida a couple of years ago. We decided that there were way too many people living in Florida. The traffic was absolutely hideous. JMO.

I am glad that I live where we can drive them all year round. I would have a really hard time putting it away for the winter and not being able to enjoy them. Winter is actually the best time to drive my 1973 Big Block Roadster. The rest of the year is for the 2016 ZO6. Arizona is a great place to drive with twisty mountain roads and flat desert highways. The best of both worlds.

And I will admit to opening the door to look at it, most nights, when locking the doors before bed.

I started researching and planning for possible future mods.
Spent a lot of time planning and creating the itinerary for my first road trip / vacation in the new car .
I also spent a ton of time creating and organizing my music library on the computer and loading all on USB drive.
I even knew which songs would be playing as I hit the highway on ramp on my way home from the dealership.
Its all part of the experience.Fortunately for me, here in the northeast, our winters end in March.
It's all good. Enjoy!

Instead of going to the garage, I just pop up the sexy pictures on my computer to look at (the Z6 I'm talking about, lol.) I guess it's my 1st year infatuation with the car. I wonder if next Winter I'll have the same detachment issue I'm going through now?!

Like all previous posters, I love my C7. Its parked in my basement garage. I see it every time I go to the basement which also houses many toys and projects. It took a year before I quit saying WOW out loud when I walked down the stairs. I have a cover for it, it sits in a corner all balled up. I can't seem to make myself cover the C7. The C4, easy peasy.
