2023 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Hello Wisconsin!

Well folks, after pining over Corvettes for nearly 25 years I can finally say these words. I am now a Corvette owner!
As an early 40th birthday present to myself I have finally gotten into a position to afford one. And here she is.
The majesty of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette. This 2016 Stingray is in beautiful Corvette Racing Yellow Tintcoat, carbon flash, Z51, 3LT, 8 spd auto. My first Corvette and most definately not my last.
I am so excited to start journeys with my wife and hopefully meeting some of you across our travels. Thank you Corvette family!

Welcome to the Forum, Matt, and congratulations on your nice C7!
Totally understand the interest you show in the pic of you with your Corvette; I have felt the same way for several decades now.
Enjoy your ride and save the wave!
