New owner in Maryland
Hi all, came to this forum in the hunt originally because autotempest/carguru doesn't search forum classifieds.
Having always owning cars that started life as a hot version of a pedestrian car AND always loving Corvettes, once my wife's car loan was paid off I pitched the idea of replacing my pretty heavily modified 2016 GTI with something that started life already more track worthy.
Originally wanted a 2016 or newer M7 Z51, mainly for the extra coolers and actually having sway bars and stough. With budget in mind, scrolling and pouring over SO many searches I finally found a white 2019 M7 Z51 with 3k miles that was maybe an hour from me. The same day, pretty deep into my scrolling I saw a Torch Red 2017 Grand Sport. 41k miles, but single owner, bought at a dealership I bought previous Cobatls at, and traded in at what used to be Kerbeck in Atlantic City. Found on Wednesday. Talked numbers with the wife on Thursday. Test drove and put a deposit on it on Friday. Bought it and brought it home on Saturday.
And she approves too

Thanks, actually attached the images because it looks like the links broke.
Lol come in to check on replies and see no pics, it's been awhile since I've forumed regularly
