Thanks Dave, when I saw this red white and blue marvel parked on the lot I did a double take and drove right back to the dealer. It took me a few months to purchase but as soon as I saw her I knew she had to be mine

Interesting, I just bought a 62 haven’t gotten it yet or driven it…… sold my C7 to get it…..

Thanks, I bought a 62 instead of the C8, always wanted one.

Now I remember you. C7 to C1. But are you still going with a C8 when they fix their inherent acute problems, at a discount later on?

No but I "like it" a lot.

Would I be devastated if I wrecked it or if it got stolen? Upset, yes. Devastated, like it's the end of the world? No.

Like all "things" that I own, I have absolutely NO emotional connection w/my C7. If damaged or lost, I can be made "whole" with a financial payment with which I can buy something else to replace it.

As for "love" which is a word that reeks with emotion. I reserve that word to the few very special people in my life who, unlike the "things" that I own, cannot be replaced by any substitute or financial compensation.

So, no, "love" is not a word that I would associate w/my C7 or any other "thing" that I own.
