What was it compared to your '14 that made you jump. The color, the GS, the mileage? Your '14 looks very nice and very similar so I'm just curious.

Very cool! I like the special edition versions with the special sticker packages. They are like hot wheels cars. I hope the "special edition" designation doesn't keep you from driving it!

It's interesting comparing the two colors and how they look sitting next to each other. Looking at the pics again, the Ceramic Matrix Gray comes out looking like its white, while the true Arctic White one looks like it has a slight yellow or ivory tint to it.

91,xxx was MSRP. I know many say I could have got a Z06, which I could have a 2LT or 1LT, not a loaded one. My time is spent in the car. The trade was a 3LT. I also work a very good deal on the car and got a very good price for my 14.

No, the dealer did on their complementary fill up. From now on it will be Mobil, Exxon, BP or Shell. Its not the gas as its all the same. Its the additives once it gets loaded in to the tanker trucks that make the difference.
I know, I work oil and gas. I want the better additive package.

We have not had sun yet since I bought the car, no rain and overcast yesterday, raining now. Took a couple picture of her. I'm dying to see her in the bright sun.

Saw a Carbon 65 in person when I was buying my LBR. Pictures really do not do it justice for some reason. The color in person looks fantastic. If I didnt have my heart set on LBR, I think I would have pulled the trigger on the Carbon 65 that I saw. Congrats on a great purchase.
