Hello all. I came close to buying a Corvette several times in my life; in 1977, again in 1981, and again in 1994, but for one reason or other I didn't. Then I saw the 2014 C7 in Cyber Gray and Kalahari interior and I knew this was the one for me... until... I walked into a showroom in Cary North Carolina and saw this Shark Gray with the red interior and calipers, and black wheels. Next thing I know it's in my garage. I was 2015 Z51 Shark bait... and life is good!
