I just simply can't help myself from driving this car at least 40 miles a day! Its only 5 miles to the supermarket and for some reason my speedometer reads that I traveled 40 miles to and back. It must be out of sync! I put some decals on the seats of the Corvette cross flag and they are holding up nicely.

Looking good Joe. I do love the LBR. We just drove ours to Myrtle Beach, SC for three weeks, and like you I never get tired of driving this C7. There's no way I could say that with any of the C3's I owned.

BTW, We've been here for a week and a half, and I already cleaned it good twice along with a "lick, and a prayer" once. Corvette owners, we're clean freaks for sure.

Do you have the transparent top (looks like it)? If so, do you have any side view pictures? Thanks.

Yes I do. Here is one that was took a day or two after I got the car back on Dec 1st 2015. I have 47,600 miles on it already! That's a lot of smiles as well as miles.

Looks great and glad those decals worked out good. Nice touch for a very small price, well done.

I've had mine for 10 months and I have 23k miles. I don't get people that let their Vette's sit in the garage. Almost seems wrong.

Great color!!

No secret formula that I know of. They just seem to stick well. And yes I have had them exposed to the sun indirectly. The way they are positioned they seem to avoid direct sun, but the car does get hot inside. They have only been on there a relatively short period of time.
