Three on the street and four at the local dealer here in Austin. Man, the AW with black rims that I saw on the highway was .

My wife showed me a couple pics she snapped today of a TR Z51 with black wheels and exposed CF roof in Mission Viejo, CA.

Take the 73 Toll Road. I discovered sitting in Traffic on the SB 405 that I was getting Paranoid looking behind me when the Traffic stopped. Luckily, I only go to our Costa Mesa Office once a week now and I try to get out of there before 3PM. If it's that early the 405 works fine. Never get on there past 4PM for sure.

I was rear ended in my Wife's Car a few years ago down in Oceanside.
Sitting at a light on HWY 76, beautiful day. A kid in a Toyota Truck slammed into me and pushed me into a F150, boom and then boom. Airbag went off and her HHR was totaled. I almost took my MBZ Convertible that day, but decided on driving her Car to save some gas.

The Wife loved that Car and she has yet to forgive me.

4 so far. A Z51 in my neighborhood. I expect mine will be the second one in the neighborhood. I ordered a VY, Z51. I just got word I have a TPW of 4/7.

The others I eyeballed were parked at restaurants nearby. Just tonight, at Texas Roadhouse, I saw a AW with, AR interior, a black stinger stripe & red calipers. Looked real good.

I've yet to see one outside of the 610 loop (i.e. Near Downtown, Big Money, Gentrified Inner City Areas) here in Houston aside from Andrew6's down by Kemah.

In the wild I've seen Several Cyber Greys and 1 Laguna Blue, 1 Black, 1 Night Race Blue, 1 Crystal Red - All Coupes, No Convertibles in the wild yet.

I'm actually kinda shocked, Houston is really, really good for having the latest, greatest on the road no matter what it is and 'vettes are VERY common here.

3 so far in the Phoenix metro area.

Expected to see much more by now.

Pretty soon I'll be seeing mine every day.

2. A TR that I only caught a glimpse of and a CG parked outside a business. Other than that, there is only one dealer that consistently has stock on their lot and they didn't seem overly hurried to sell them. I hope mine comes with a Coughlin Pataskala, Ohio license plate frame so people know I didn't get it from the stingy dealers in town

That might not go over too well if you have to take it to one of those stingy dealers for service or your free two years of oil changes

Too funny! ...can't believe you said that... My 5 month
old C7 will probably never see 1000 miles, for the exact same reason.

If we were rock stars, we'd probably both pull a Kurt Cobain.

Went from November until Mid March to see the first one. Then the next day I saw a different one running around town and then the next day I was on the GSP and saw two in a row with a Viper. None in four months and then four in three days. I guess the "nice" weather here in South Jersey is bringing them out.

I have stopped counting. Maybe fifteen or so on the street. I went to a car show last week that had twenty four registered for the show.

We had a wonderful SUNNY weekend (raining now). On one of the side roads saw a yellow C7 headed our way. Turns out they live about 1/2 mile from us on one of the other small roads. They left before we asked if they belonged to any clubs (car came up behind us).

Fredericksburg, VA Saw a White turning onto the street to the dealer. A friend saw a Yellow in the general populace. I am starting to believe the limited dealers and allocations are preventing locals from getting a timely order in and receive a car. For me 3+ months.

I have yet to see one, but I live in little Siberia !
Hopefully, the first one I see is the one I buy.
