Default Been away a while...

Been off CF for a few years, when I sold my 13 Grand Sport, I moved on to a Silverado for a while, then a 392 Challenger Scatpack Shaker. With the sniffle bug going around right now, and dealers dropping prices, the time was right for Corvette #5...

Thanks. First white car I've owned, wasn't touching black with a 10' pole this time around, don't have the motivation/energy that a black vehicle demands. Pretty happy with it so far, just gotta figure out what's where compared to the C6.

You will tune the radio about 45 times before you finally realize its not the volume control ****... Thats the one ergonomic issue I have in the C7...

Thanks all, I'm pretty happy to be back. I'd been looking here and there, but was on the fence, my Challenger was pretty fun. But every time I walked into the garage, I'd see the Vette tin signs my kids had bought me over the years for BDays, Christmas, etc...I missed having a Vette.
