Default What a Day

Today was the first day I drove my baby, a fully loaded yellow Z51 with every black option, to work. I had between 70-80 military kids coming over to meet me throughout the day and 50-60 other middle aged people ask me about the ride. Everytime I went outside to show friends there were groups of 3-4 people taking pictures and talking Corvette. It started in the morning and didn't let up all day. The design and the finish on this beast made every other ride in the lot pale in comparison. From young to old I had people in the building talking Corvette and drooling. Good job GM you hit it outta the park with this car!!!

This car is the ultimate rockstar. Almost every parking lot will
bring people with big smiles, complements, and serious envy.

I've already warned my wife about this! However, she has experienced this in the past when I had a Shelby Cobra replica!
