Wow, sounds like the pizza is the deal breaker for the C8.. GM was a bit too focused on golf bags unfortunately for todays market!

I am not sure the C7 has what can be called a trunk either.. you can reach into it from the drivers seat, and if you hit the brakes hard a large pizza is going to go flying into the windshield!!

How's the cupholders while were at it?!

If they can't hold the pizza level while I drive, they should be walking. Wife can hold it level and eat while I drive and when I reach over to grab a slice.

Maybe they should do KFC which is "Finger Likin Good" so you can lick it off the windshield?

The C7 SUCKS for cupholders. Can't have 2 Trenta sized cups easily. Wife's Cayenne and my F250 can.

Well I am trying to get a deal going. They claim they will accept my offer tomorrow. Fingers crossed. This is not a dis to Artic White, it was the only one that has the features I want and I can afford it (got it through finance). This is crazy.

If the wife is on board, the car has nice toys, I'd definitely go for it. I did when the wife was pissed at the "Rickety POS" C4, I jumped and bought the C7 and dumped the C4. 6 hours later, after rejecting a couple ,we found a pair of C7, Red and yellow. She wanted red and I wanted yellow because it picked up less heat so red it was.

She does not think there is anything wrong with the one we have. I can't explain it to her. I think she will learn to love it. I mean she loves me.... so.

Give a couple of hours and I will find enough problems she will want to move it.

Thanks everyone. Graduated to the C8 forum (or demoted as some may say) Since I still have a C7 I do have rights in this forum still.

I would rustle up the C8 reasoning that it would be for my wife. I would love to drive one around but the C7 Grand Sport M7 is the Corvette for me!

The other day I saw a C8 and the guy did not even wave to me... I think that says it all basically.
I think you are wrong, I wave at every Corvette,it's not just C8 asshol$s. It's the person in general.

Who care? Not me. I'm not the "wave police" and none of us signed a contract that we have to be on the watch for another Corvette and wave. Maybe they don't see you or don't want to participate in the activities. Is your ego that fragile that you think they are azzholes if they either didn't see you or care about waving? Mine isn't.
