New (to me) C7 in UT
Good morning all!
I bought my 2015 C7 a couple of weeks ago and am living out my childhood dream! I still can’t believe it’s in my garage.
So, I’ve always dreamed of driving a corvette. My dad, his brothers, his father were all auto mechanics. Dad has worked on GM vehicles my whole life. Many of my childhood memories surround the dealership he worked at, the garage, and seeing the occasional Vette pass through.
Now, in my 30s, I have a younger brother who is the general sales manager at that same dealership and he was able to help me make this happen- along with the eventual buy-in from my wife. I’m extremely lucky that way. Anyway, I’m excited to be here and to learn from y’all.
