Default New Vette and Z06 owner

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!!!

I'm David, and just this week, I picked up my first ever Vette, and a C7 Z06/07 to boot. A Vette has been my dream car for many years and I was partial to the C6 Z's until the C7 was announced. Luckily I'm at a point in my life where I could make it happen so I began the search and found this beauty. Boy oh boy what a car! Ive had a bunch of high horse mustangs in the past, 03-04 Cobras, S550 stangs, etc. but nothing to the refinement of a car like this. She's a 2015, 2LZ, Z07, A8 with 1900 miles. One owner garage kept and never seen rain. I look forward to interacting with all of you here and sharing and learning about these wonderful cars.

heres some cell phone pics as its been too cold to get out and do a real shoot ( photography is my life long hobby).

thanks,










EDIT: pictures aren't showing up...working on that!

Welcome to the forum! There seems to be a lot of guys getting Z06's for this time of year. But right now is is great time for deal sounds like you got a whale of a deal on a like new car.

Some Corvette's owners are proud and keep their Garage Queens kept tucked away like the crown jewels! I'm sure it is better than new!

Very nice car. Quite different than what you have owned before. Please give us your thoughts after a few months of ownership.

How can anyone own a car 2-3 years and only put 1900 miles on it?? I bet I put that on in a few months.

ENJOY!!

Congratulations David and welcome to the Corvette Forum.

There are a lot of Forum members in your area and a couple of great clubs nearby. Aquia Creek Corvette Club is in Stafford and there are a lot of great Corvette folks in the club.

You're so close, (barely 3 hours away), you are going to have to make the trek to Carlisle this year, if you haven't already. Start planning early, hotel rooms in Carlisle can already be impossible to find. Fear not however, Chambersburg and Harrisburg are about 30 minutes away and are very accommodating during Carlisle weekend.

Good luck and again welcome to the Forum... GUSTO

Congratulations and welcome to this group of Corvette loonies. You will enjoy your car both for its power and its comfort and the Corvette community for its camaraderie. Your license plate should be DRTH VDR.--Bob
