Default Back after 13 years

Hello,
It is great to see that this forum is still alive and well. I sold my vettes back in 2005 but now that my kids are older and driving themselves I decided it was time to get back into one of these awesome cars. Just picked up this 2017 GS with 250 miles on it. Icannot seem to get the smile off my face!

I know exactly how you feel.The more you push these Grand Sports the better they drive (and the bigger the smile).

PS: Welcome back!!!
