Nice cars.

I'm not waiting. Driving mine here in the Twin Cities when the roads are clear. Picked up my license plates this morning.

I have owned around 25 vettes to date and grew up and lived in the Minneapolis, St Louis Park and Apple valley areas. I drove vettes for 22 years of the time I lived there all year around. I got the first one when I was 17 and for many of those years the vette was my DD and only vehicle so drove it no matter what the weather was doing. Moved to Tucson and since then have enjoyed top down corvette weather all year long.

Congrats from a fellow Minnesotan that knows how you feel!

Hope Spring arrives early as does my on order vert.

As a Gopher now living among Buckeyes I feel your pain, spring comes a couple of weeks earlier down here but it's still a long winter. Order is at 1100 so I'll be waiting regardless.

Default I feel your pain

I picked mine at the museum on October 21st. On the 22nd I was driving the Tail of the Dragon and now I can't wait for warm weather. I think all the Minnesota C7 owners on the forum should all meet next April and drive into Cars and Coffee together!

Greetings and congrats from Kansas City. My Torch Red C7 is stored at a friend's house....I can't wait to get her back out again.

The one in Chanhassen? I'd be in. My buddy has a nasty black c6 z06 that would go too (on the forum). That can be a really cool show. Did you have your c7 there in the fall? Be interesting to see how people react to them.

I regularly attend the C&C as well, so you can count me in for the first one. (Hopefully April?) I was able to put 500 miles on mine before being stored-would have had more if it was not stuck in Nashville for QC or whatever they did for several weeks... Next week I'll be in AZ attending the auctions so will at least get to see some C7's other than those under car covers.

Hope this April is not like last year, 10" of snow at the end of the month!
Count me in if my C7 TR vert finally arrives and the snow does not!

I don't want to hijack the OP's thread on his gorgeous black black C7 and hopefully he can join. Yes the C&C in Chanhassen at the autoplex. I took my black C6 a several times before I sold it and I have brought my 72 MGB there. If anyone wants to go to the first C&C in April then please PM me and when we get close to date Ill do what I can to arrange a meeting time and place.

It will be great to see a bunch of C7's together. I wonder if they will shove all the Vettes in the back lot again this year...

Hey Wally, can I get a ride afterwards...

Well hell, I may have to attend this C & C deal. Looks like I may in the minority with my 'vintage' C6.

Be prepared to be in awe of the garages there.
