Default Finally pulled the trigger

Bought my dream car yesterday. It's a 2014 c7 3LT with only 7k miles. I grew up admiring the c3 and c4 I sold cars for a while for Chevy and sold the c5 for a while. And the first time I saw a c7 I was blown away. To me it is the epitome of what a Corvette should look like. I wanted to thank everyone on the board for the help and advice. We noticed the wheel center caps where stolen so they ordered new ones and another key and will schedule a full detail once the snow is gone. And i did have to bring it home in the snow hope I don't get any flack for that lol 😀

From a former Illinois neighbor that lived in Geneva I do not miss the "white stuff" but your 'Vette is beautiful. Good luck and I hope you have an early spring this year.

Too bad those wheels were not available in 2017. They look great on your car.

Assuming you got a decent deal on the car the first owner paid a heavy price for each one of those 7,000 miles.

Nice garage queen find! 5-6 years old and only 7k miles, what a shame, but a great find for you!

Thanks everyone it also has the brown interior so to me a great color combo. Now just debating puting a stinger strip on and maybe doing the wheels as black chrome. I'm just in awe still that it's in my garage.

I believe that stopping & looking at our C7s each time we go into garage or walk up to them in a parking lot is true for all of us. Congrats 🎈 & welcome to the club with YOUR beautiful girl!

Hopefully it has A/S 3s on it for Winter driving, instead of the OEM Summer Only tires....
