Default Grand Sport arrived. So did this.

Well the car arrived at the dealership, and the 50-60 degree weather went away.

Just had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand a week ago so driving the 7M might be a little challenging anyway, so I guess things happen for a reason.

Signed the papers and I'm officially a Vette owner.

Thanks to Corvette Forum members for all the info that assisted my decision making process.

Now just hoping for some rain to wash the salt away and some warm temps.

Congrats - a beautiful C7!! And I feel your pain. We'd had about 6 feet of snow this winter at our home, and then got some rain and warmer weather and it was about gone. Then we got another 2 feet last Sunday/Monday. And more is coming Monday.

Great looking C7. Looks like you purchased the best mods already, side skirts and splitter.

That is a very, very pretty car.

And just think how much you will enjoy it once better weather arrives and you are all healed up.

Congrats. Love the new grey and the GS looks great in it. When you get the itch for some mods give us a call.

The snow and nippy weather will go away soon. Hopefully, you will enjoy the new GS for years and years ..... unless there is a C8/Zora in your future. Get well and keep watching the weather channel. Pat

I feel your pain. I got my new GS a week ago Sunday when it hit 60 in West Michigan. Put 100 miles on that day, then winter came back. We got 1/4" snow yesterday and they put 1/2" of salt on all the roads. They must want to make sure they use up all their salt so they don't get their budgets cut next year.

Congrats on the great looking ride.
