Looks like Lauterbrunnen and Wengen

I really like the white background headlights. Also, what is the meaning of a "Chevrolet Official Vehicle" on the side of of your car?

Attempt at political humor? There is a section of the forum for that. Feel free to go spread your vile ignorance there, with all the other tobacco chewing geniuses, while your girlfriend (and sister) is cooking the road kill.

I didn't say it was political humor and no one called you a coward, you just assumed that mantle.... must be a French thing.

Thank you for editing your original post.
It shows consideration, and I respect that.

Thanks for all the comments on the pictures! I didn't know that you guys here enjoy pictures of cars and mountains so much!
I'll be glad to post some more over the season and show y'all some more pics of where I live.
To answer some questions:
The decals: its 2011 GS that was in use as a Indy Brickyard 400Festival Car. As far as I know, there are 14 of them.
Mine is probably the only one outside the US.
It had 245 Miles on it when I bought it.


The Decal on the door was missing. I had it remade and may put it on for a Show..
The logo on the rear Fender



Yes, some People can tell a Corvette over here. There are quiet many over here. But you see mor Lambos Ferraris and such. Neighbour just parked his Lambo Aventador a couple of minutes ago.
(It's 03:30 AM over here and that car is loud! )


(and the political stuff: Guy from le Mans: ne t' énerve pas! vaut pas la peine! )

Tout a fait d'accord avec toi!

Did you buy it in the US and shipped it over? Or it was already imported with all the paperwork done? (I know the routine when importing a vehicle in Europe from the States, and it does take time and a bit of money....and aggravation possibly)

Both of my Corvettes are toy cars. I have a Subaru for bad weather.
I would drive my C4 more often if it would not be such a pita to remove the snow from the Garage

Bought it via Internet :-) Never seen the car before. It all took about 14 weeks.
A new "normal" 2011 GS convertible goes for about $ 107'000 over here.

Cool pictures, looks like a great time. Have you ever driven the Stelvio Pass in Italy? I'm headed there the first weekend in July.
