My wife has either bought or encouraged me to buy all three of my Corvettes over the last 14 years. If I want a C7, she will have no issues unless i want a Torch Red interior 
For some reason, she doesn't ever want me to get a bleeder.

We are using the C6 more, mileage equals new replacement. I kept my 2006 longer than I should have. Now I'm performing electrical maintenance on a 6+ year old car. It doesn't have the miles, but years. I'm going to trade every three years or 15,000 miles which ever comes first. That should solve the maintence problem.

Battery, not charged after three hour trip (could be a bad new battery or sat on shelf and not filly charged). Airbag electrical plug needed reseating to make proper contact. I was ready to trade on Saturday, dealer didn't have a car with equipment I wanted.

I turned my future husband on to Corvettes way back before we were married. We've had matching C4s before. He knows and I've told him that I'm going to buy the C7 and he knows that. There is no argument there. How can you argue with buying an excellent piece of automotive machinery.

At first the girlfriend had a hesitation after buying me all my current C5 mods, but now she wants me to sell her C4 and add it to the downpayment on the C7. I couldn't even begin to take her C4 away...it's too beautiful and it's an auto.
She's on board now to add another Vette to the collection.......I love her soo much!

I don't practice what you preech but I agree. I bought my wife an addition to her wedding ring. Only about 2k after everything was said and done. Well worth it for the vette.

Tuxharley: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya..............
.............that those aren't C7 tail lights. They're actually replacement lenses for a 2010 Ford Taurus. I knew I'd seen that design someplace before, it just took me a while to figure it out and track them down. Now I know why I dislike it as much as I do - a design cue stolen from an effing Taurus.......
Nice try keeks, so what about gaining the wife's approval?

If I want it...and I can comfortably afford it ...I get it.....
My wife was having a problem with me not "taking orders"
.......Thats why she is soon to be my ex wife...........
.....Being a man is not a crime
.......Grow a set and dont get neutered
......."No bossy wife.....Happy life"
