Default She’s here!

After 2.5 years I finally took delivery of my new 2022 C8. I opted for the 1LT with Adrenaline red seats and performance exhaust. I would like to thank everyone on this forum. I would have been lost and discouraged without the information that’s provided here. I would also like to bring light to Don Hattan Chevrolet in Park City Ks. They don’t get the most allocations, but they are a honest 5 star dealership that honored the MSRP price. Even offered me 6 additional free oil changes and a free yearly ceramic coating at no charge, just for the wait. 2022 has been a hell of a year with the birth of my first child (boy!) and now a brand new Corvette. I can say I’m extremely blessed, and proud to be apart of the C8 family.

Things have changed on the C8

Not too many young guys in the past liked the C5 / C6 / C7.

Welcome brother, but please get some better pics.

Congrats. FYI - The Nuna Rava is a pretty good child seat you can install in the passenger seat of a C8.
