Default New Corvette...

Hey Guys,

After many threads, reviews, and being pissed off at dealers, I finally got my C7!! (Actually I got it around Thanksgiving)

I said i would post photos of the 'new' car once I got it all cleaned up. When I got it cleaned up the following weekend and then just got busy and then the holidays, etc. So I am just not getting to posting them.

Thank you to all those who offered help. Especially Corvette Will. Although I didn't pick one of the cars he found and sent to me, he spend time and energy to help me look. I am very thankful.

Enjoy!

Congratulations, Stingray.

Had a Velocity Yellow C6 before my Heritage Edition GS C7. The ‘Look at me Yellow’ does attract attention. Great looking car!!

It's funny, my favorite color is red. But on cars....yellow. When I bought the stang in 2009 I wanted yellow but couldn't find one in good condition. I was pressed for time to get a car so I went with the torch fire. The car has been amazing. 144k miles and still trucking very well. Here is to hoping I enjoy the new vette as much as I still do my stang. We are off to a good start!! haha.

Nothing major. Z06 grille, black spoiler, tint windows....maybe a stinger stripe. Mechanically, I think it has enough power for me at this time. We will see if i get the urge for more in the days to come.

And thank you everyone.
