Default Harry's c7 work truck

This is to acknowledge my friend and neighbor, Harry, and his well worn C7 “work truck.” Despite being 80 yrs old, Harry remains an avid hunter/fisherman/sportsman and competitive golfer. He can still install a deer stand 50 feet up in a tree. As a rural land and real estate developer, he is constantly out working on his properties.

His work truck, which is his only vehicle and daily driver, is a 2016 C7 Stingray! As Harry puts it, he’s got the best of both worlds - the joy of driving a vette everyday, with the functionality of a truck. With age comes wisdom!

Somewhere, there is someone that is taking anxiety medication after looking at these pictures.

That is an understatement. However, that VIN should be one to avoid for resale unless ridiculously cheap. Venison Vette!

I just love this and thank you for introducing us to Harry and sharing his story. Love the anxiety comment too, I'll admit when I saw the deer in the back it took things to another level LOL

Kudos to Harry for finding all sorts of ways to use his C7. I won’t ever match him for the things he carries in his car, but the C7 does have a good amount of storage space.
