I'm Baaaaaaack!!
After selling my 2002 Electron Blue convertible about 3 years ago and regretting it........ I started to hunt down its replacement. It took me 6 months to find it but here it is! 2015 Laguna blue/Black C7 Stingray Z51 convertible. Fully loaded with the 3LT package and A8 transmission(wanted a 7sp but gave up trying to find one). Its a 1 owner with only 15K miles on it. The car is spotless and the previous owner
already did the full 3M clear protection on it. Haven't had much chance to drive it but I did so long enough to know that they are not kidding about these "summer only" Michelin pilot sports on it. They don't stick to well to cold pavement. I'm enjoying just sitting in it in the garage and figuring out all of the features and how to use them. Hope to meet back up with my pacific northwest brothers and sisters this summer for some fun cruising and BBQ's(Aaron? Joe?)
I will post some better pics of it with the top down as soon as I can figure out how to transfer them from my phone to my computer. It looks waaaay better top down in the sunlight.

Congrats! Hopefully we'll have some warmer days in another week or so. Never taken mine out below 40, but just above 40 there's enough grip to at least cruise about and cautiously step on the gas here and there.

Very nice car.....you will love it. I traded my C6 this last summer for a C7, and love it. Can't wait til the weather gets better... Not much longer.

Congrats on the new ride, Greg! It looks nice!
I don't know what the rest of you are talking about - I'm driving my Z06 today but I got rid of the Cup tires and am running the MPSS. It was 28 degrees when I left my house this morning and the tires do fine unless you get into it too hard.
I did drive my Tahoe yesterday since the forecast called for snow showers in the afternoon. Cold - just take it easy with the MPSS. Snow? Definitely not.

Congrats and welcome back! This week has been hard for me to think about driving my mistress. Snow in Lacey, where i have an office and today snow in Sammamish so I patiently wait. Good news is I got my "boot kit" today to install over the weekend!
See ya'll once the snow threat stops.

Hey Greg,
Welcome back. You can’t go wrong with blue!
I retired last year and moved to Arizona. It’s more conducive to year round driving here, unless you are like Aaron

Great looking Vette Greg!
It's been a "color and cut" and a "comb over" since we've seen you
