Once you've decided to buy a new C7, then it's easy to make an impulse buy when you happen to run across one that suits you. No other new vehicle(s) I've ever bought was as memorable as the (2) new Corvettes I've bought over the years.

My 1st new Cadillac at 22 yrs. old came close though. It's like having the #1 pick in the NFL Draft.
