Default Just makes you smile.....

We have each purchased our cars for one reason or another. Whether you're an avid car enthusiast or just think the Corvette is the "cool" car.... we agree that these cars are amazing.

What makes me realize this is the fact that I have owned my car for alittle over a year now and it still puts a massive smile on my face every time I either get behind the wheel or see it.

I drive my Durango as a daily driver and always park my Corvette in the garage hen not in use. I get her out at least once a week to let her stretch her legs. The rest of the time she enjoys relaxing in my nice warm garage. What surprises me most is I can stumble in the garage at anytime of the day, in the morning half awake, in the evening half tipsy, or even in mid day looking for a random tool, and be stopped in my tracks by how awesome the car looks just sitting there. Standing there looking at my MY vette with her few add-ons, I smile thinking that I was finally able to purchase my dream car and it looks so damn good. Ill give up the search for the random tool and take two or three laps around the garage just admiring my car. Sometimes I feel a little crazy hahaha. I know there are nicer corvettes out there but this one is mine and I have made it into exactly what I want (ok maybe needs a widebody).

Any of you ever experience this? Just walk out of somewhere and see your car and think "DAMN! That awesome machine is mine!"

I love it when I walk out of a store and see it sitting by itself in the parking lot. They are beautiful cars. My wife always makes a comment on how good it looks.

You put to words my exact feelings for six years, I'm now patiently waiting for the/my C7 and experiencing the same anticipation I had for my C6. Thanks

I think that's a common affliction amongst Corvette owners. We're blessed to be able to own such wonderful cars and we each use our Corvette's as we see fit. It's your car....it is the nicest Corvette out there. Get all the enjoyment from your Corvette that you should.

This is how nuts I am....

Sometimes, I will come home from work in my DD (Escalade EXT), open my garage so I can look at it sitting there, waiting patiently for me to take her for a spin!! I am always eager to comply!!

Every time I go into the garage, I have to pinch myself. I don’t see how the C7 is going to top the C6 body style.

Hey, is that rear spoiler black or carbon fiber? I have a CB coupe and are still trying to figure out if I am going body color, carbon, or black for my eventual spoiler purchase...
