Yes I do! Very much! It’ll hibernate between November-March while the Tundra TRD Pro gets the work load. Then, once the salt from winter roads is washed away spring rains, it’ll be back in service.

Yes I do!

It's been raining here a few days now so no driving. Lots of strolling to the garage to oogle it tho!

Sun in the forecast!

Just under 800 miles on it!

I just got home from a long but enjoyable 80 mile night drive in the Grand Sport - even picked up a meal on the way too. Rev matching is fantastic...almost borderline addicting I didn't think I'd enjoy that feature as much as I do.

How could you not? Have owned ours about 1 month, no regrets and always do the double take when walking away.

I loved both of my '14s but this '16 feels like a entirely different car because of the piece of **** 8-speed transmission. How did GM release such a fantastic car with an embarassing transmission? I wish they had an option to opt for the bulletproof A6 over the jerky, unrefined A8.

Living in Chicago, my first Corvette suffered being put away for much of the Winter. Moved to AZ 17 years ago.

I can drive it anytime I want to, plus access some great roads in a short drive. And I do. Often.

I don't know what it is, but there something so sexy about the C7 when you drive it on a nice day. The rumble of the exhaust, the stereo system being able to pump out some serious power, the responsiveness of the throttle and steering, and then there is just the look of the car going light speed as it's sitting there. Nothing like driving a race car to work.

Okay happy post over

My '18 Z06 is by far the best Corvette I have ever owned. It is a blast to drive!

What a coincidence. I was in fact traveling from Minnesota to CA on that exact day. After driving in the snow from Ogellala, NE in the snow along side huge semis whose drivers must have thought me crazy to be in a all black C7 on that road. They closed the road at Cheyenne, WY. at 6 AM. Had to drive to Windsor, CO to wait out the closure with relatives who were not expecting us. Car did just fine in W setting. Total trip to CA was 2100 miles at ave speed of 70 and mileage at 29.7 even with the terrible weather. Love my C7
