Default Finally!!
The first time I seen the ‘17 Grand Sport I knew I wanted one. Grew up around cars, transitioned into lifted trucks then the C7 ignited the desire again.

Took delivery of this ‘19 this past week and couldn’t be happier. Picture of my previous C5.

Moving this to the C7 General section - much better fit there than in the Intros section.
