You will probably rethink that when it comes time to pay for the insurance!

Looks great.
but be forewarned, if you've never owned a yellow car before - bugs love it!
You'll see what I mean in another month or so . . . ENJOY! 😁

Gorgeous car!! I am fairly certain my Z06 will be yellow! Though I vacillate between Amplify Orange and Yellow. Can't go wrong with either one though.

Number 2 on list for a Z06, and almost certain it will be yellow also. I considered orange until I saw it in person and being a die hard Crimson Tide fan I just can't do it. It is 100% Tennessee Volunteer orange! Love it, but not sure I can drive it 🤣 won't say never though, because the color is very nice...BUT....

I was 90% sure I was going orange with black roof on the Z06 until I saw that combo next to a yellow one. I had no desire for the current yellow until I saw it in person a couple weeks ago. It was much better than the orange. Now I am back to undecided but have 6 months to change my mind a few million times. May have to let Siri decide for me.

So, Bristol (my daughter) and I went to Bowling Green, Kentucky to take museum delivery of our new C8 Corvette at the Corvette Museum.

It was an awesome experience yesterday and today. I always said if I ever purchased a new one I would definitely do museum delivery, and it did not disappoint. Everybody there was exceptionally nice and very knowledgeable and made it a very memorable 2 days. They treated Bristol like she was the buyer and never once excluded her from anything. We were on Camera 8 if any odd was watching delivery cameras today.

After a 3.5 hour drive home this car is absolutely awesome in every way. Hands down my favorite as this is #6 (2001, 2002, 2008, 2013, and a 2015 all regular Corvettes). The rear view camera is amazing as it greatly helps with blind spot next to car since it has such a wide angle view. Rides and drives so good. And gets tonssssssss of looks, thumbs up, etc....
That sounds awesome! I'm sure you guys had a ball! What is the rule now, anyway, for what age/size child can sit in the front seat?

I was determined to get another yellow Corvette. I had not seen the C8 yellow in person. 50 different pictures and it will look 50 different shades of yellow. But WOW is about the only way to describe it in person, no picture does it justice.

When there is no back seat not sure there is a rule. But in Alabama if there is a backseat I think child is suppose to be 12 years old before sitting up front (recommendation anyway).
