#382 second day

Just a quick note! Only have 2 days of in town driving. Fantastic Car! love the Mag Ride! car is very quiet. Really fun to drive. Gets lots of attention! Love the camera rear view mirror and the other 5 camera views. GT2 seats are very comfortable. Have not been able to push it yet, but the trans feels really nice in both auto and paddle shift. !!!!!! the RIDE is amazing!! My wife has hated riding in every vette I have owned. She and I went about 60 miles yesterday and she really liked riding in the C8. No more tire noise inside the car. No more feeling every small crack in the road. The car is the smoothest riding vette I have ever had and the quietest. Just my quick thoughts!! JD
C8, White, Natural int,LT2, Z551, Mag Ride, lift, High wing, Black side skirts, black mirrors.

Great looking ride. You must have been #1 at Wallace or Dyer.

Beautiful looks like my future ride minus the high wing which I may change now. Is this a 2LT or 3LT? Congrats!! What county are you in in Florida?

I was #29 moved up to 21. Ed confirmed my order went forward last week. Status 2000. Maybe June or July?

Would love to see your car in person. I’m in St Lucie West. I’ll PM you my phone number.

Wife and I took 55 mile ride up the coast and back yesterday. LOVE

this car!! So much fun to drive. Can't wait till I get my 500 miles on it. Really rides nice in Tour mode and stiffens up in Sport plus exhaust opens more. Gets lots of looks and Waves and horn honks.

Glad you're enjoying.

I don't know how to fix your avatar but I'd sure appreciate it if you would. My neck hurts from standing on my head!
