Default My first Corvette

I just purchased a 2007 black dream machine. So happy to be part of the club. I have been reading the C6 forum for weeks leading up to this purchase!

Welcome to the forum, you may need to polish her up a bit, looks like she's got a couple of scratches.

Maybe this looks better. I didn't like the instagram effect after it posted.

Thank goodness you resubmitted those photos because I've chosen your car to be the OPTIMA Corvette of the Week. I'm writing it up for the homepage now.

Default OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: Tom’s Toy



Tom, allow me to prepare you for something you’re going to hear often: “That’s a 2007? Are you kidding? That thing looks brand-new.”

I get it all the time with my car, which is also black; a more difficult color to keep looking new.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Thanks for the comment. I've heard that from people already and it feels good. I have an AMG mercedes and vary rarely get asked about my car, but 3 people have asked me about the Corvette this week.

Ha. Well of course no one would ask about a German junker. Now you are in the big leagues!

Congratulations!

I have 4 new 2014 Mercedes including an AMG convertible and never get asked about them either. They get some stares, but that is about it. No thumbs up or anything. They were all European Deliveries and the only time people ever really noticed was when I was in Europe.

However when I am in a Vette, it gets the attention. I get waves and thumbs up and priceless reactions when people see my '72.

PS SAVE THE WAVE!
