Default Well I did it....

Traded in my '03 for this '14 Premier Z51 M7 so you folks gonna be stuck with me.... my condolences to y'all...

Had 2960 miles on it when I picked it up. Just a tad more "spirited" than the '03... lol

Can't... I live in SW Florida and lovebug season has kicked into full gear. Took me an hour to clean the front end and hood when I got it home.....

Beautiful car. Yes, the lovebugs are bad but hopefully it will be over soon.

One of the main reasons I pulled the trigger on it. That and the dealership is amazing. Their customer support is BEYOND great.

Howdy Neighbor! Yeah, took me over an hour to clean the front and window off when I got back. Had to go to Largo (west of Tampa) to pick it up. Lovebugs were swarming. It's in the garage for a bit... But at least it's here.

Congrats on the move to a C7. That's a beautiful car, always liked that special edition.
Like you, I came off a C5 and moved to a C7, M7 Z51, it's quite a jump and, as you said, more spirited. Enjoy it!

Thanks! And yeah, the C5 would certainly go, but you could easily get into some serious trouble with one of these things!

Yes from Jim, Paul and Chris at The Toy Store (http:/www.vettenet.com). They only have quality vettes. Been in business for 50+ years. Jim Crist is the owner and a very well known racer of Vettes for a LONG. The walls of the place are COVERED with his victory plaques, awards, etc.

But I have NEVER met nicer, more honest, people anywhere. Best treatment I EVER got at a car dealer, or most anywhere else for that matter. They ship to all 50 states and believe me, they don't have crap, PERIOD. Would recommend anyone looking to check 'em out. If they don't have what you're looking for call 'em - they'll find it.

SUPER experience.
