Default 6 Months lurker-finally found the one

I've been lurking for the past 6 months. You guys sure are very entertaining and very informative at the same time. The passion for this vehicle is very much alive. I finally found the corvette that I was looking for on the used market. It's a 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 3LT with Nav/PDR. I am very lucky to live in the only place in Canada where you can DD your car all year long (Vancouver Area) so you bet I will drive this puppy every day. I have to setup a call at my local tire shop to get some A/S tire on it. I will go from the dealer directly to the tire shop before I take her home. I would start a thread without posting picture. I am not a savage. I will pick the car this week as soon as I can figure out the tire situation. I want to be safe first and foremost.

Edit : forgot to mention. this is a M7.




That's me and the car.

You got yourself a real beauty there..,and it has all the really nice options too: Z51, M7, Chrome wheels, 3LT - to me that exact setup in a C7 is the best bang for your buck... Best of luck with her!!

They just don't come up that often on the used market. I am a very lucky guy to find that combo at an affordable price.
