Congratulations on a beautiful birthday ride. Enjoy it all you can, after all, isn't that why we have them. I'm with you on the fast approaching winter weather. Won't be long now before she has to go hibernate. Sweet ride and thanks for sharing with of of us.

Thank you! I'm always trying to wave when I see a Vette on the road, actually feel disappointed when I don't get one back haha.

Thanks! Already picked up a satin stretch cover and a tender, but can't quite bring myself to commit to the long sleep when I see just that one nicer day in the upcoming week every time.

Ohio, so it's been raining every day with lows in lower 20s, highs in the upper 30s / low 40s. Then I'll get the one day that's the combo of almost 50 and clear. That's the day I actually look forward to driving in to work. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

We are both in the same boat! I have been thinking of a corvette ever since seeing an episode of "How its made" on how a Z06 is built. My 2012 Porsche Cayman R's headliner started to fall and since the dealer basically said I was on my own as well as lowballing me on a trade-in value towards a new Boxster I decided it was time to jump ship. The November Special pricing was too good to ignore and I ended up with a 2017 Arctic White Grand Sport 1LS with a nice smattering of options added on. Got it for $58K out the door. Unfortunately I had back surgery today and will not be able to drive for a week or so. At least I can drive year 'round. Enjoy yours!

Congrats on the amazing deal & new Vette too! I picked mine up 2 months ago so jumped in too early for all of the recent pricing, but I can't complain as I got exactly what I was looking for. Best wishes on a speedy recovery as well.
