Congrats and welcome to the cult!

I got my new C7 (Torch Red) 3 weeks ago - but had to wait 51 years instead of 25.

Hats off to you!!

He can say it started as a joke, but I greeted him when he first came in and I saw the look on his eye and I told him I could tell he was taking one home with him.

Thanks again for your business Pete!

Nice to see some "youngsters" seeing the light and moving away from the rice burners.

Awesome car, awesome color. I just got my Admiral Blue GS this week as well. I waited until I was 53 to get my first one.

Congrats. Love the lines of the standard Stingray without all the spoilers, splitters & side skirts. Bad *** and beautiful! Enjoy your ride.

Congrats on new C7! Hey, haven't you heard they will never need to take our keys away from us. As long as we can get in and out of the vehicle it will get us there safely so soon it will make your head swim....... just sayin

Pete, congrats on your new Corvette- great choice. Nice to hear you love and even work on your cars. Investing at an early age is so smart! Plus being able to spend a little is a balanced view. Have fun!

Congrats. Nice color choice too. These cars, in whatever color, whatever transmission, supercharged or not, are just awesome. Talk about bang for the buck IMHO. Be safe and wish you many awesome miles.

Nice car

You know you are hooked when you park it looking for spaces far away from everyone else. Then when you are walking away you keep on turning around to get another glimpse of it.
Wait until you see that color pop in full sunshine!

Congrats! Looks great! Got my first one at 27, but it was 13 years old and not in the best shape but I loved that car every minute I had it. Best of luck with it!!

Welcome to the party and the forum!! Beautiful car, and I really like that color a lot. As you found out, it's very dangerous to drop by 'just to look'. When we bought our '15 I didn't even drop by in person - just looked at their website and made a call 'just to check on a few things.' Sent a check within 24 hours.
