Pulled the trigger
Well, I couldn't wait no longer. My C6 was 10 years old and I needed a change. My first drive with my New C7 I wasn't quite sure I made the right decision. But after getting used to things I was happy. "What an Amazing Car"! Very pleased, and No Complaints Vette #8.
In with the new!
Out with the old!

I've never gotten to use that one yet. Grats on the C7.

Pics, pics, we need pics.
Congratulations, you're gonna love it every time you take a drive. I didn't even look back at my old C6 when I left the lot.

Congrats! I have a feeling that very shortly the only thing you're going to miss about your C6 was the color. Atomic Orange was pretty sweet! (sorry but gray just doesn't have the same wow factor)

I drove my 2004 Z06 for 10 years and skipped the whole C6 generation before trading for my 2014 Stingray. I think the C5 was starting to wear out, and I don't enjoy working on cars as much as I used to..

I have had 4 Corvettes over the last 40 years. I thought my 1989 was going to be my last. Well then the C7 showed up in 2013. The rest is history. In 2015 my kids took me to Bowling Green for my birthday and when i got back home I placed an order for my 2016 Z-51 and sold my 1989 C4. The C7 is one hell of a car and i am glad i made the move.

Congrats op. I love my C7. I knew when I purchased my 08 C6 that it was going to be a prelude to a new one (purchased the C6 a month after the C7 came out). I loved my 08 was loaded and had F55 and NPP. But it cannot hold a candle to my C7. Although it had more room and rode like a cadillac comparitively lol. But that's not what corvettes are supposed to be.
as for the gentlemen getting a "gray" corvette? When my friend and I go anywhere together it's the gray one that garners all the attention lol
his is white.
