Corvette Workout
So, I've found that I get decent exercise everytime I get out of my Stingray :
1 legged squats lifting out
lat / tricep rep lifting myself out
Chevy can run a commercial with the tag line : "Corvette : Helping you live a healthier life."

I am 51 and glad I don't have to exercise when I get in or out of my C7 or I would go on a diet or get a different car JMHO.

I solved that issue by completing cardio rehab...never been a gym rat, but I am now hooked on fitness; I even wear a tracker to check heart rate, etc. Getting in and out is still cumbersome, but way easier. In public I try to not look like an old fart struggling to get out...

The C7 is a breeze compared to a C4. You really get a workout getting into and out of one of those.

Th C4's are the worst! However, I was climbing into a new GS at a local dealer and decided if I ever got one, those side mounted ground effects "platforms" have got to go! Made the sill as wide as a C4!

People often ask me if she (my better half) gets to drive it. I always tell them that she has her own set of keys and can drive it whenever she wants. We have two cars and I will then drive the other car. The truth is that she does not want to drive the Vette anyways.
