Default 2019 GS Newb...OMG



I've been driving my C5 FRC and having a blast for the last 12 years, but wanted a shiny new toy. I had NO IDEA HOW EPIC THESE CARS ARE!!! All you out there with Wide Body's are so lucky! This was my first drive today (delivered to door this AM), and tomorrow the wife and I are heading to show my Ma, who lives 2 hrs away via winding mountain roads. Can't wait!

Thanks guys...so stoked I'm still pinching myself to make sure i'm awake! Greatest car ever! The car was delivered in a fancy hauler with a couple Lambo's in it, and "Blade" looked way better in my opinion!

I "only" have the C7 Stingray and love it. The Grand Sport is a step above in many ways. Some people like the wide body and others don't; but the nice thing about the Corvette is that GM builds them to suit anyone's taste.

Enjoy!!

I see by your front plate you also bought from a great dealer in New Hampshire.
