An old guy returns, Bought a C7
 
I bought a 2014 C7 M7 Z51 3LT yesterday. My wife died in early May and she wanted me to buy a Corvette with part of her life insurance proceeds, so I did. We had a Nassau Blue 99 A4 from 2003 to 2008, but as happens to many, life interferes. She fought cancer for 9 years and she wanted me to get another car for the social aspects and to keep me busy, so I honored her gift.

only fitting that you name the car after your beloved wife.

I'm sorry for your loss.. She sounds like a great wife! That's like the twin to mine. You got the right color too.. Mine has the competition seats and carbon fiber package. Mine is also a 3LT.
How many miles? Can you throw up a pic of the interior?

Ah, so sorry for the loss of your wife. How nice that she wanted you to get back into Corvettes. I'm sure you'll think about her as you enjoy your beautiful car.

Flattman 06-23-2023 02:59 PM

Sorry for your loss. It's obvious your car will have more meaning than most.

Maxpowers 06-23-2023 04:18 PM

Sorry for your loss. Your wife sounds like an amazing person.

Sorry for your loss, but now you can at least carry out your late Wife's wish and enjoy your Vette in her honor.

Beautiful car, great package on it (Z51 and 3LT) and what a loving tribute and memory to your wife.

Sorry for your loss. Take comfort that you will never ride alone as she will be beside you for all time... :thumbs:

So sorry for the loss of your wife. You honored her wishes by using some of the insurance proceeds to get your beautiful new-used C7!

So sorry to hear of the loss of your wife it must be very difficult. Congrat's on the Corvette and I hope you enjoy it and stay safe. The yellow is awesome and I like the side skirts.

G-lock 06-23-2023 07:13 PM

More pics will be coming, got some house stuff to deal with..Thanks for all the kind wishes..

I hoped to get pics but the weather didn't cooperate..thunderstorms and all.

You had a very special wife. Sorry to hear of her passing. That's a great way to honor your wife, and it was her idea. Very cool looking C7. I'm a carbon flash metallic painted side mirror fan myself.

Vetteman Jack 06-24-2023 12:37 AM

Condolences on the loss of your wife - and :cheers: for honoring her wishes.

Nice looking C7 and hope every time you get behind the wheel it brings back fond memories of your wife.

Avanti 06-24-2023 01:01 AM

You live in a state where you can get a personalized tag with your wife's name on it? :yesnod: :thumbs:

c5arlen 06-24-2023 01:55 PM

Sorry for your loss. I lost my wife in May 3 years ago and did not drive my 2016 C7 for three years. Just pulled it out and cleaned it up and kicking myself for letting it set for so long. I just started driving it every nice day and loving it. Don't do what I did, Corvettes are made to be driven. See you on the road.

SGM Snake 06-24-2023 09:05 PM

Sorry for your loss.
She is looking down with a smile I am sure.
Just get out and enjoy.

ValenciaOrange 06-24-2023 09:07 PM

So sorry for your loss. She is smiling knowing you are Happy with your Corvette.
