Default New Corvette Owner

I traded in my 2010 Camaro SS and picked up my new 2013 Grand Sport yesterday. This is the second corvette that I have owned, the first one i was a 2006 1LT model.

Congratulations and Welcome. Very nice automobile. In particular it looks like you have the silver painted aluminum wheels and I think they work very nicely with your cg exterior.

I initially wanted chrome rims but the silver painted aluminum rims have grown on me after seeing them on the car.

I love this car, I have a permanent permagrin! 😎

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome
