Default Costco Run in the C7 Vert

Maybe one of the benefits of shopping with a 'vert C7 is that it prevents over buying at places like Costco. Lots of small items you can't see slide under to convertible top partition. Keep the top up and a LOT more could fit.
A near cart-full fit in the trunk and could still put the top down for the drive home.
Two golf bags can fit once we unloaded!

Exactly my point. Seems a lot of folks dread parking their car anywhere near a big box store.

I went to Costco yesterday in my C7. Picked up some beer, work gloves, juice and some snack food, candy, etc., etc. It fit very nicely into the hatch area. I also found 93-Octane "top tier" unleaded premium gasoline for $2.65! Everywhere else it is now over three bucks for the good stuff. Argh!

It sure was perfect Corvette weather yesterday and it looks nice today as well.

If you look at the "Top Tier" banner that hangs in most Costco stores, our beloved Corvette is the poster child on the banner

LOL. I went to home Depot yesterday and picked up 100lbs of river rock. On my coupe with the way the hatch opens it's easier to load heavy items compared to my S5.
