Default Back In The Saddle Again....!

It's been just over a year since I sold Red Racer and boy, did I miss it. However, things have worked out to the point where I'm going to pick up my new 2016 Z51 3LT Stingray this afternoon.

I was going to get a 2013 GS, but when I found this, the deal was just too good to pass up. I may have to change my username though....

Thanks!

Yes, I plan to get there early for a good parking place. Maybe the gang could arrive together so as to park together??

Congrats! Laguna Blue is definitely one of my favorite colors on the C7. It looks really good in direct sunlight:

I had never really considered blue...it was going to be red or maybe even black. But when I saw this one with those silver wheels and the CF roof option, I was hooked.

After looking at all of those 'great deals' offered by the big East Coast Corvette dealers, Dwayne Lane's in Arlington beat every one of them on price. I couldn't be happier.

Life is good.

Nice!


Hope you don't have my problem since you used to have RED

I bought a Black GS a year ago... then hated not seeing a Torch Red Hood outside the windshield since all I have ever owned is a Torch Red Corvettes ... so I looked for a Torch Red GS -- now have both.. addicted to both now.

Congratulations Joe.

I have never had any luck with Roy Robinson but never thought to give Dwayne Lane Chevrolet a try. Their Jeep dealership would not let me test drive an SRT long ago without filling out a credit app first for some reason so I skipped the drive.

Thanks!

And I probably would have never thought of Dwayne Lane either but my daughter and her family live in Mt. Vernon and I go see them every so often. I'd seen that dealership every time going by and now that I was shopping for a car, thought I'd stop by to see what they had.

It looks awesome, Joe! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person next Sunday.

I really like Laguna Blue - now with Admiral Blue out, I'm considering it for my next car - a Superman edition with Admiral Blue (red & black seats, red accents outside).

Wow! Beautiful C7 Joe. Congratulations. I'll follow your posts and threads to see if the C7 is as good as I'm told it is. That blue really "pops" without the black (shipping only) wheels.

Hope to see you next Sunday.

RR--- you really popped for the Full Monti. Great looking color and like the wheels(i'm with the old group). I'm sure you will love it and all and new goodies it comes with. Miles of Smiles ahead for you. Once in awhile a person just stops at the right place at the right time. I think you would call it a bit of Serendipity.

You probably won't miss the Red after awhile because it wasn't one like this... But it's so many colors depending on the light. I think that blue will probably be the same and you surely enjoyed the Red while you had it. Better than a Jeep any day. Post some pictures of the inside too.
