Default Has anyone ever bought a Corvette C7 or other generation just to get a specific#,YEAR

I recently was wondering if any one has purchased a C7 or other generation to get a certain year or number because it reminds you of a special time in your life or you just like a certain number. I have owned 12 Corvettes and have never had the #7 in any digit of a given year. I knew the latest Z06 I purchased would be my last so after owning a 2014 C7 I had a choice between a New 2017 or 2018. It might sound stupid to a lot of members but I went with the 2017 because the #7 is my favorite # and it is supposed to stand for luck which is something I hope to get with my last Corvette unless it is crashed,stolen,or lemoned. ANYONE ELSE BUY A C7 OR OTHER GENERATION AND CONSIDERED THE #"S IN THE VEHICLES MODEL YEAR AS ONE OF THE DECIDING FACTORS IN PURCHASING YOUR CORVETTE Thanks Dave


2017

I bought a Corvette because it starts with COR like my user name of CORgidog1.

Seriously no such thinking went into my C7 purchase.

I would like to say how ridiculous this thread is, but.....

I like the number 5 and when my grandkids tease me about it and wonder why I bought a '14 instead of a '15 I ask them what one plus four equals.

You can rationalize anything if you really try. Even this thread.

Since some folks have specifically wanted a certain VIN#, perhaps just wanting a 7 isn't the worst ever.

I've known folks that desired older model years that match up with the year that they were born in.

Not the newer Vettes, but I targeted years for the C1' and C2's that we've owned over the years.

I would do that except any Corvette built in my birth year would require a Master's certificate and a very large spot at the pier.
