Reminder...
Traded my Lariat on a new F150 loaded King Ranch last week and what a nice comfortable ride it is. Really liking it but tonight I took the GS out to dinner...damn what a nice car we own. Really nice. Sometimes reading all the negativity on here about the car can get to you so I just wanted to say that DAMN WE OWN A NICE CAR! Let's not forget that as we read all the stuff here. The corvette is one fine sports car and I'm proud to be an owner and part of the group. 😎

I love my car and have had -0- issues. As is typical, people only speak out to complain on sites like this, that is human nature and some have reasons but not all of us. Corvettes are amazing cars and we should be proud to own them. They are mechanical and will have issues but what fine cars they are. Driving in the Austin area and the roads we have make me wish everyone had this opportunity. My son lives in Michigan and tells me about their roads...bummer. I just wanted to remind people that we own one fine car and should enjoy them and be proud. 👍

Yes, I know what you mean!
This forum really offers a great service to the Corvette community in so many ways, however being exposed to so many C7 issues on a daily basics can lead to doubt.
Of course cranking up your beast and taking it for a spin quickly turns the doubt into pleasure.
Just have to remember that forums are where everyone goes to report issues and problems and seek help, and appreciate the more positive threads/posts.
No true sportscar on the planet offers more bang for the buck.

Kevin, I believe it was your instructions that I followed to install my new brake pads with. Adam pointed me to your information so thanks to you guys for the help. That is what a forum like this is good for. You offer a great deal of assistance to us out here and thanks for that.

Feel the same way about living in southern AZ. Coming from upstate NY, I never miss having to deal with winter. Over 300 clear days to drive a year.

I bought our ZL1 Camaro from Stingray in Plant City in 2012 when they had a $99.00 dealer fee. They were great and I would buy from them again. I think their current dealer fee is around $600. I would also check with Estero Bay Chevrolet, they get a pretty big allocation. Do not bother with the dealers in Southeast Florida.
