An old guy returns, Bought a C7
I bought a 2014 C7 M7 Z51 3LT yesterday. My wife died in early May and she wanted me to buy a Corvette with part of her life insurance proceeds, so I did. We had a Nassau Blue 99 A4 from 2003 to 2008, but as happens to many, life interferes. She fought cancer for 9 years and she wanted me to get another car for the social aspects and to keep me busy, so I honored her gift.

I'm sorry for your loss.. She sounds like a great wife! That's like the twin to mine. You got the right color too.. Mine has the competition seats and carbon fiber package. Mine is also a 3LT.
How many miles? Can you throw up a pic of the interior?

Ah, so sorry for the loss of your wife. How nice that she wanted you to get back into Corvettes. I'm sure you'll think about her as you enjoy your beautiful car.

Sorry for your loss, but now you can at least carry out your late Wife's wish and enjoy your Vette in her honor.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your wife it must be very difficult. Congrat's on the Corvette and I hope you enjoy it and stay safe. The yellow is awesome and I like the side skirts.

You had a very special wife. Sorry to hear of her passing. That's a great way to honor your wife, and it was her idea. Very cool looking C7. I'm a carbon flash metallic painted side mirror fan myself.

Condolences on the loss of your wife - and for honoring her wishes.
Nice looking C7 and hope every time you get behind the wheel it brings back fond memories of your wife.

You live in a state where you can get a personalized tag with your wife's name on it?
