Default Welp, Me and the Mrs Did It

We went ahead and upgraded to the C7. Spent a lot of time researching the vehicle and let me tell ya, I don't think there is another Long Beach Red on the east coast anywhere. So we decided to jump on this one. It was sitting at the dealer for the past year. Only had 6 miles on it for the entire year! Simply amazing. Its a '17, A8, Z51, 3lt, Long Beach Red w/Spice Red Interior and with the interior you get the specific chrome wheels you see here. Love the car! Was out in it today. Sorry to all those who have them stored. Still nice in TN. Scared for the TC issues on these things but what ya gonna do. Its our last vette. We had a C5, C6 and now the C7. Have just enough time to pay it off before retirement. That's the plan anyway. Attached a few pics for your viewing. Don't want to get flamed on my first post in the C7 section.

Thank you. The wheels have the word Corvette on them and also have a Stingray on them to. Really cool looking.

Congrats, nice looking Vette!!

We were at Melton Lake Park this afternoon as well. I hope this East TN winter weather gives us more days like this.

Have you checked out the East TN Corvette Club yet?? Lots of good people.

Congratulations to you both! Love the color, wheels and options! Where did you find the padded seatbelt (C7) covers?
