Default It's finally hers
It's been a long time coming for my wife and she held out till she found the one that she wanted. Her must haves were blue, manual, no competition seats, back up camera, HUD, and no black wheels. Well, she settled on the last part since we found one locally that met her criteria and was priced fairly.

2014 2LT Z51 with 9k miles that was a museum delivery.

Incoming dealer photos...







dealership badge will of course be removed



That "spot" on the front bumper is the reflection in the paint and not a chunk of the bumper missing








Cell pic time. Time for the drive home



Someone is excited about her new Corvette. As they say, it's all about the smiles per gallon. LOL




She had the most nerve racking drive home as the rain started really coming down as soon as we hit the road for the drive home. So now that she has her Vette we will be competing for whose is faster.

Your wife smiles like the rest of us when we are driving our Vettes.....

Should we call it VETSMILE?

Congrats,

Ken

Congrats to her. It looks to be in great shape. As you stated, take that Toyota decal off. Hard to believe they would put that on.

I haven't seen that one driving around here. Great color choice (although I may be a bit biased).

Triplethefun, maybe these photos will help you:
