Default Hello again everyone

I sold my 2011 Grand Sport 3 years ago and have missed it ever since. Today I picked up a 2016 Shark Grey Metallic M7 1lt with Z51, carbon flash and black wheels. I could not be happier to be back in a Vette. Hope everyone has been doing well.

As I said to a friend yesterday, once you drive a Corvette AND own one, other cars are drab.
Vehicles like Camaros and Mustangs are fun, but fail to excite on the level of a Corvette. BMWs and the like become foreign trash (and this is coming from a "foreign" American; laugh with me). Chevrolet Corvettes are hugely American in flavor.

adios, my friends and enjoy the ride

Funny you mention that, I have exactly what you described, only no BMW's. Instead, Jags and Mercedes. The Mercedes were picked up in Germany last year. They are fun, but the Corvette is my answer when I am asked which one is the best.
