Default First Corvette

I've been eyeing Corvettes ever since the C7 came out and finally pulled the trigger last night on our first one. Glad to be a part of the Corvette family and have tons to learn (including how to drive a manual )

14 Z51 3LT carbon roof, red comp seats, and Z06 grill. I think the little man approves.

Both the car and the kid are looking good! Put him in the drivers seat. He has some good driving shoes I see.
