My New Grand Sport Carbon 65
I had no intentions of getting a New Corvette, as I have been perfectly happy with my 2014 Arctic White 3LT, Z51 M-7 car with the brownstone interior that I ordered in Oct 03 2013.
I took my car in for an Oil change mid March. They had a Carbon 65 sitting on the floor. First one that has really turned my head since I got the 2014. Figured it would be an auto car, and was hoping it was, as I would not consider it. Well it was a manual.
I left with out even talking to my Salesman about it. Couldn't get the dang thing out of my head. So last week I started talking with the salesman. I really didn't think we would come to an agreement but we did.
Had to bing it home in the rain as it may snow today, temp falling fast and bad weather for the next 5 days. White one is my old one, Hope to get better pictures soon.

Nice!!!!
I've looked at that car several times before our monthly club meetings and was impressed with the detail of the fit and finish of that rig. Hope to see it on the road this sometime this summer.

Since I got my 14, I always looked at the ones on the floor when having mine serviced. Was never an issue until I saw this one. Had it been an auto it still would not have been an issue. Tried for a couple weeks to not talk to Rick.

Being an older guy I am more of a chrome wheel fan but I must admit that is a REALLY sharp looking car.......your going to be spending a lot of time in grocery store parking lots answering questions for those having a good close look at it...........
Congrats !
