2022 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2022 C2 of the Year Finalist -- Unmodified

Default Got our 1st look at our new baby. Waa-Hoo!!

We got to get our first look at our '22 HTC yesterday. It arrived on Wednesday afternoon. The dealer was closed Thursday due to a very large snow storm that fell Wednasday night. I'm very thankful our car arrived before the snow started falling! It's pretty filthy from the winter tranport all the way to Washington state, but it made our day to lay eyes on it for the first time! Now for the PDI and detail It's absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!

Body color exterior accents really work with Accelerate Yellow along with the HTC. Great build!

You don’t see too many Yellow C8’s. I like Yellow with Black trim a lot.

Congrats on having the car arrive at the dealership and hope the weather clears up so you can get the car home.

Good looking car, that’s for sure.
