Welcome back. It was almost 25 years between Vettes for me when I picked up my C7.

Welcome back and as you mentioned, the C-7 is an amazing car. Welcome to FL, it sure is nice being able to drive your car all year long. O yeah, and playing golf all year long.

Welcome back!
I was gone for 6 years until I came back in June. I did the same - but one gen behind you (C5 to a C6).

Feels good to be back, don't it?

I guess I have been here for a while... I loved my C6, but like you I agree that my C7 has definitely "grown up."

I have owned a C3 (which I actually own now), a C4, a C5, a C6 and my current C7. Each generation has gotten better and better. I probably will not experience a C8 as I am getting ready to retire and my C7 is still like new, but I have a feeling it will be nothing short of spectacular!

Welcome back, I just can't figure out how you lasted 9 years. I damn near had to go to therapy while waiting the 6 weeks it took to built an '06 C6 I ordered after selling my '72. Thank God for pharmaceuticals.......
