What a D!CK !!! I was really hoping to get a ride in it just so I could hide flea collars and dog shampoo in every nook and cranny of the car. .

The entire upper level could basically be our own private gathering spot. If we all get hungry there are plenty of restaurants as well. Thoughts?
There's only room for 200 cars when some people don't take two parking spaces....

Would love to see your car. Are you going on the Caravan to BG in 14 with us?

Here is a map of RTC that may help people find the location tomorrow of where Walter will be bringing his C7. I didn't include much of the surrounding area but if it's your first time to Redmond Town Center enter that POI into your NAV and it should get you there. RTC is just off of 520. Once you get to RTC the map should help you pinpoint the garage.

Unlike the C7 with it's sophisticated back up camera and suggested trajectory on screen graphic aids, I have to use old fashioned dead reckoning with the ole Z. Sometimes I miss

The good news is that with the new technical aids on Walter's car, Corvettes at car shows everywhere should be free and clear from any reversing mishaps. Sorry Walter I couldn't resist.

Thanks again for pointing that conflict out.


Enjoy the day it sounds like a blast! We'll see you at Exotics next Saturday since we had a bunch of Seahawk activities planned today.

I know how much I wanted to see one and how disappointed I was that GM didn't think LeMay worthy.

So let me know if you're interested and I'll pick a time and plan accordingly.
Walter nice ride! Car looks great in person, good meeting and talking. Thanks for bringing it out for all to view, see you at the track sometime.

All, when you see one you'll want one, definietely the next generation and it shows. Kudos GM.

Great gathering, about 15 Corvettes in total, and of course the star of the show. It looks a lot different in person, and frankly is much more pleasing to the eye than in a photo.

Walter, congrats on your beautiful ride!

Beautiful car Walter! Thanks for bringing it out and letting us droll all over it. Maybe next Saturday the rain gods will bring good favor and you can come out Exotics.

Beautiful!! But now you have to get red,white & blue flag emblems. We have them on the C5&C6. Wonder how long it will take for the C7
/The blue is soooo much nicer than red!
