Default Finally!!!

After nearly 2 years of no Corvette, the car came in! I thought I was being clever selling my C7 in April 2019...then the strike, then Covid...
Anyhow, it is here and it is a spectacular car!
I'll write more once I get some miles under my belt, but who cares about that...We need PICTURES
2LT, Silver Flare with painted nacelles/top, Natural interior, NPP

I like your choice of colors.. You know the saying, “Great minds think alike”. I went with black and red on the interior.
