Well, I finally did it....I think my wife finally got sick of me begging for one! My first corvette....a 2010 GS! I've been wanting one for as long as I can remember! I've only had it for a couple of weeks and I can't wipe the smile off my face when I go in the garage! It's in storage already (live in Minnesota). At his rate, by Spring, I'll have waxed, polished, and detailed the Torch Red paint right off it! O'well, this will help get me through the long Winter....looking forward to Spring and the thrill of owning / driving my new toy!

Congrats!! That is a stunning beauty! Understand exactly what you mean with the smile when you walk into the garage! Been there.

I'm in Iowa, so mine's stored also. It always seems like it's going to be such a long wait 'til Spring. But it'll get here, and you'll have many "miles of smiles".

Again, congrats, and welcome to the Forum.
