Default Pulled the trigger...moving to the DARK side

With GM eliminating DSOM in January, I pulled the trigger on a new 2016 2LT DSOM Z06 Convertible this weekend.

In past Corvette generations the Z06 was something to admire, but never seriously consider due to the simple fact that the top did not come off. To each his own, but to me, a Corvette just isn't a Corvette unless the top can come off (Coupe or Convertible).

So after a 9 hour round trip "get to know you" ride from Chicago to Detroit, I'm proud to have this Beast in my stable!

My Z51 next to my Z06
