It was 11 years in between my C6 Z06 and my new-to-me C7 and I was ecstatic and it was so unexpected the way it went down as well. But enough about me, welcome back to "The Lifestyle".. Beautiful Vette!!!!

Congrats! Unicorn indeed! You will be hard pressed to find another GS vert. I've been looking out for almost five years. Plenty of coupes, but I've never seen another GS vert of any year! Hang in there and save the wave. Lots of smiles per gallon in your future. Ask me how I know...
