You did the right thing not buying that 1LT. Also, you bought the M7. ZO6. A dangerously fast car.

Front cameras, PDR, and I'd assume you got HUD. You're way ahead with those options. Try not to get in trouble with all that power.

​​​​​​​The Arctic White is the best color for a C7!!

Arctic white with black trim and wheels is one of the best colors for the C7. That is what my 14 Stingray was, with the Brownstone interior.

$82k even. Keep in mind I am in Canada that is a smoking deal. MSRP on this car was $111k.

I'm glad you followed my advice in the other thread and bought the car, ha ha. Congratulations! BTW, how much Corvette driving time is left in the year up in Ontario?

A lot more than many people think, although a lot of my Corvette friends up here have already put their cars away, even though it's sunny and 57 degrees here at the moment. For the next 4-5 weeks here any snow that might fall would generally be less than an inch and even if they salt the roads we'll still have some rainy days to wash it away. Once it gets to mid December, that's about when the risk of bigger storms comes in, but living near Toronto limits the amount of big storms that we get (a big snow storm here is generally 3-4 inches of snow), so during the winter months here there really are quite a few good opportunities to drive on dry salt free roads (I find that even if they heavily salt the highways, all it takes are a couple of days for that to disappear) It's a different story for people that live even an hour north of Toronto, they get a lot more snow and they put down a lot more road salt too.

I keep the insurance active on my Corvette all winter long, because past history has shown that I'm able to find good opportunities to drive at least 2-3 times per month, if not more. Last winter was particularily good for me, I was able to go for a drive almost every single weekend through the winter, with the exception of Dec 21 to Jan 21 where a few back to back snowstorms kept the roads extra crappy more than usual.

Thanks everyone. The feedback on this car from family, friends and interwebs people has been overwhelmingly positive. Really only one negative comment from some jackass on lxforums basically asking why I think anyone would give a **** about my vette. LMAO.

Adrenaline red on Arctic White always looks good on an Ontario Z06
