Default My first Corvette!

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking on here now and then but just joined last week after buying my first Corvette. I always loved Corvettes and the C7 was love at first site. I'm coming from a 2015 Mustang GT PP since the need for a backseat is not that important anymore and I got the itch for something new. I've been watching the C7 Grand Sport inventory dwindling down and it was time to buy if I wanted to get a new one optioned out the way I wanted it. The dealer was able to make me a good deal that I couldn't pass up and I'm thrilled with my new ride! With that said, here's my 2019 Grand Sport 2lt!

Best wishes to all,
Braski

Yes, I bought it from Whitmoyer Chevy. It was my first time dealing with them and I have nothing but great things to say about all of their team! I always try to support local dealerships as long as their willing to give me a fair deal. I can honestly say it was one of the best new car buying experience that I ever had!

Thank you sir, if I was any closer to York I would be in the susquehanna river!
