Attachment 47747280

Just want to take some time and say hello, My wife and I allways wanted a nice sports car to take to west Texas. So Sat. we were looking in Galveston Texas at a 2013 Grand Sport 3LT that caught my eye on the internet. Well you know how that goes, we ended up taking her home!!!! And what a ride that was!! Love this thing!!!

I live in Sulphur Louisiana, so I had a long ride home. Time to play and get the feel of the car. The power really surprised me, I owned a Camaro ZL1 before this car and I believe this Corvette would give the ZL1 a good run for it's money, if not beat it! But for now I have to find a way to keep my wife form driving it all the time, LOL!!!
