Default Another new C7 owner

We just purchased a 2017 GS (Watkins Glen Gray) to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary later this year. GM offered an $8K discount which encouraged us to make the purchase now. This is the 9th Vette that we've owned with the C6 being the only one we missed. We're currently on the C2 forum with our '64 Coupe. I'm looking forward to learning about our C7 from the experienced members on this forum...Brian
