Oh man, glad someone spoke up. I need an intervention. That "The Bug" thing is ... awesome!! I'm not a fan of the Corvette Tax ... but that bug overrides sensibilities. Luckily I only have an ex-wife.

If you think this site is a bad influence, beware, as this is only the beginning.

One reason I seldom have the wife as a passenger. Have to drive like an “old man” or if she had such a button she would use it!

Have to keep it under 3000 rpm, no way to treat a Vette! May be 75 but going on 19! Note, NOT 17 when I took too many risks. Still hit redline in 3rd BUT only on long, little used roads with no other traffic and farm fields on both sides. Have several near the house! The cotton and corn don’t care what I do!

Congrats man!!!! I Had same problem hahaha, This was taken 6 weeks ago, now i cant wait for summer, i got to drive it today for 10 miles as i squeaked it into the xpel and Cquartz guy between snow and rain storms today, total tease drive LOL.... I am grateful for this forum, I was dead set on buying a beautiful 04 Ferrari 360 I ran into while out of town, but while researching it i kept coming here and comparing, i finally went and drove a few C7s and then was torn between saying I own a Ferrari or actually owning a C7 that I think looks better (from the front, I'm split on the rear, I like them both back there) and definitely drives better. I have had my C4 for almost 30 years, so always been a vette guy, but damn these news cars are a treat hahahaha thanks for all the forum members and their insight and passion!!!!

Eject button was something I saw and just had to have because it made me smile and was less than $10. It is actually a cigar lighter with a big red circle with chrome EJECT written on it.

Great looking C7 and white looks best on the C7 generation compared to past generations!
