In the past 36 hours...

oyealiz · 03-31-2014, 12:37 AM

I bought my c7, drove it 531 miles to get home, got lots and lots of waves, "nice car", and thumbs up and got a speeding ticket.

So far, it's all great except for that last thing.

We drove about 4 hours of the trip top down.

Would have kept on that way, but it got dark and tooooo cold.

And home!

3lt, 7 spd

Nice!

A black rag top always looks good.

Nate GM · 03-31-2014, 08:01 AM

Congrats! She looks great, especially next to the rest of your collection

oyealiz · 03-31-2014, 03:07 PM

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the guys on Camaro5 didn't think I was really getting a c7 when I sold my Camaro a few months ago, as it was just a lowly v6. Ha!

The 68 is mine. The 73, Kevin's.

couldn't see it in the pic...sooo...
...thought it was '69....

...and the front fender...
...wasn't a big enough clue...
...and I couldn't see the bumpers on the '73....

Very Nice!!!

I'm glad I'm away from that crowd and that whole muscle car thing.

Too much hate and in-fighting going on over there.

The Corvette crowd is a much nicer and more mature crowd.

Too much ya ya and ugliness over v6 vs v8, too. I like being where it's all v8s.

That might be true on this forum.....but there is another forum devoted to corvette with a bunch of internet tough guys and cry babies in my opinion

Thanks! I came to your town (Shawnee Mission, KS, to be exact) to pick my c7 up on Saturday!
