Default New owner - '17 Z51 2LT Torch Red Coupe

Hi All,

Newbie here in Northern California - East Bay. After months of deliberation, I finally pulled the trigger on a new C7. It's a 2017 Z51 2LT Torch Red on Black coupe w/ manual transmission.. Car is awesome and has blown away my expectations. This is my first Corvette, so still have a lot to learn. Love the enthusiasm on this forum and looking forward to being part of the community. Couple of pictures below.

Big shout out to Monica and the Boardwalk Chevrolet team for a great deal and making the purchase process super smooth.

Cheers!

We all had lots to learn with our first C7. Be sure to take advantage of the Spring Mountain trip at your earliest convenience. They will teach you more about your car than you can ever figure out on your own.

I've seen info about Boardwalk here on the forums below, and never realized they were in Redwood city. I was born in San Mateo, lived in Belmont and had a paper route delivering the Redwood City Tribune when I was in 5th and 6th grade. You said you live in the East Bay, and my wife was born in Oakland and grew up in Antioch. Bought my first home in Fremont.

Small world.

Small world indeed. One cool thing about Boardwalk is their climate-controlled storage area for their Corvette inventory - impressive! Picture below:
