New Baby in the Garage

For 40th anniversary my wife said buy a 2017 Grand Sport! I was in a dream state for several days. Then went to test drive a 2016 Z06 to see how I fit in the new interior -- too tight as compared to my 2008 Coupe. So, looked on line for two weeks and found our new, to us, 2013 Crystal Red Grand Sport. It had 4,243 miles on it when I picked it up in OK and still under 36/36K warranty. She rides a little firmer (glad I held out for the magnetic shocks), but oh what a joy!

And it probably cost about half what a C7 GS would cost, maybe even less? Right?

very nice......I like the C6 much more than the C7. I just think the back of the car is poorly designed.

Neat color combo, I like how the factory made optional black wheels on GS"s, they look a lot better than after market ones. Enjoy!
