I have been a fan of Corvettes as long as I can remember. I have always wanted one, but there were other priorities, so my wife and I decided to wait. We finally decided to get serious about finding one and I am beyond ecstatic that I finally took delivery of my new car last Tuesday. Was holding off for an Admiral Blue 7M. Wanted the performance exhaust and preferred black wheels and the carbon badging. I couldn't be happier. Love this car and have had a great time driving it around with no destination whatsoever.

Welcome to our quiet little corner of the internet. Good luck getting that perma-grin off your face every time you start it or even look at it.

That's a beauty. My first choice color is between this and white, with black or carbon finish wheels and trims just as on yours.
