Default Saying goodbye

I just wanted to express my thanks for being a member of the C7 family. I am going to be moving on and upgrading to a C8 2024 with 1400 miles. I will miss all the help I have had over the years and some that I have been able to give as well.

Great idea, give us a balanced C7 vs C8 comparison. I look forward to the OP's opinions.

That reminds me of the old saying - 'When one door closes, another one opens. Other than that, it's a good car'.

Thank you for all the kind words. I will miss my C7, it has been a great car, but at 75 I am getting up there and this was a dual birthday gift to myself and my wife.
