New owner - Admiral Blue....
Hi ALL,
Can't believe I am actually a new member and Corvette owner. I was looking at used C7 corvettes at the end of last year when I mentioned to the wife that I might like one.
Surprisingly she was all for it and told me to treat myself for once!! She setup a test drive on a brand new 2017, it was supposed to be a "safe" test drive because she doesn't really like blue cars.
Once we saw it behind the dealership I knew we were done, it was Admiral Blue with chrome wheels and a total head turner.
Always thought I wanted red, white or yellow with black rims, but the blue and chrome is so Cool in person!!!
Thanks for all the great info provided on this forum, it has been very beneficial!!
A pic attached.
