Enjoying my '19 Stingray Convertible in the Fall
It was 6 weeks ago today that my ordered Stingray convertible arrived at the dealership. I have since put 1866 miles on it and have been enjoying it immensely! Here are a few pictures taken at Naples NY.

Got to love a vert! My first month of ownership, I put over 2500 miles on the car. It has since averaged out to about 1000 miles a month which includes at least two months a year that I don't drive it due to the winter weather. Enjoy it while you can as the Rochester, NY winter is not too far away.

What a beauty. I was concerned at first that the top may have been broken, but I saw later that you got it down. 
Enjoy

Gorgeous C7.
Top up or top down, convertible Corvettes are the only way to go. Convertibles are old school sports cars. You can't get the full sports car experience in the "hatchback."

Sure you can. They both have the same acceleration, same braking, same cornering. I can remove the roof if I want the wind in my hair, it's not that much different. To each his own, but I absolutely hate the way you think that your car is the only way that people should configure their Corvettes and that everyone else's car is wrong.

Not to be too picky - but that's not really true. Years ago, convertibles were looked at negatively specifically for "Sports Cars" because with the roof removed, the overall frame rigidity was weakened... and sport cars wouldn't handle as well (they would "twist"). Today frames are much more rigid to remedy this...but back in the day that was the consensus...
