Pro tip: Ditch the zero-G chairs and buy a shop stool on rollers. Park the Vette a few feet to the left, so you can roll around and view the right side. Hang the bikes from the ceiling. Stand up occasionally so you memorize it from EVERY angle.

Addendum: shop stool can also be rolled outside to check out that sweet rear end!

I am like the rest of you and just stare at my vettes. Yes I have two. A nice 1976 Stingray and a 2015 Stingray. When I first brought my 76 home I kept opening the door and staring at it thinking really I own a vette. I still open the door and think really I own two vettes !

I totally get the 'watch the Vette' instead of the news thing.

Between all the lies reported by CNN,NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox, mixed with North Korea's dip **** leader, the news simply depresses me.

I have a lounge area in my garage. Big screen TV, sofa, bar style table and chairs, full size stainless fridge. I'm in the garage everynight. My wife joins me and we have a glass of wine. Sometimes we even eat dinner out there. My wife loves the car as much as I do.
So far, I've removed the wheels twice to clean and wax the barrels. It's the joy of owning a black car with black wheels.

Now that is the true definition of a "garage queen". Now don't deny it-you have a garage queen. Maybe put a tiara on her roof. (lol).

Now the real question is --Who has a bed in their garage right next to their C7?

This thread has convinced me I am not as crazy as my wife says I am.

The old saying, "If you don't look back (after parking), then you bought the wrong car. I'm guilty of that, but I don't sit in the garage and stare at it.

Every time I drive my other car, when the garage opens and I see my c7 my mind instantly thinks, Damn that's one sexy car! Haven't moved into my garage yet though. lol

Wow... this is a bizarre thread to me....

I prefer driving mine.... 48K miles on my '15.... got a Ferrari sharing the garage with the C7, I prefer driving it as well (10K a year)....

Maybe it's because I've been driving Corvettes as daily drivers for 27 years..... and have been driving sports cars since 1960.

" happy wife, happy life"? NOT! Male spouse, head of the house.
