Hey everyone, I've been lurking on here since September or so and figured I'd finally sign up. Thanks to all of your pictures, in-depth reviews, and random knowledge sharing-- I feel like I've already driven the Stingray...but I haven't.

Currently serving as an Army officer deployed to Kuwait until June '14. I finally got to see the C7 in person in December when I flew back home on leave. If I wasn't already sold, that sold me.

Pure speculation but I'm counting my lucky stars to get a '14 Stingray when I get back. My father had a red 'Vette in the late 80's, when I was 5 or so, and I can recall after a long cruise, he'd put me on his lap and let me help steer it into the driveway. It's about time I rejoin the party.

to everyone who has their 'Vette on the road currently-- and for all those snowed in...just a few more months!

-Mike
