It's beautiful. Congrats.
I think you made the right choice over everything else you were considering. The F-Type sure is nice though; dude I work with has one. Bang for the buck my C7 is a much better car.

Thanks to all the well wishers.
Drove down to Annapolis and Eastern shore of the Chesapeake to complete my break-in miles. The sound once I can rev the engine above 3500 was amazing. Btw, in this part of the country the wave is alive and well.
This car is an attention grabber for sure. From the thumbs up from USNA midshipmen to the double look from mustang and M3 drivers. What I love most is seeing the young kids staring, pointing and dragging their parents for a better look. That was me many years ago. The American dream of driving America’s sports car is also alive and well. Now passing it on to the next generation.
