Nice.
I guess I stick with what I know.
I think sharksbreath sent me some blackfire once but I didn't think it was better than the wolfgang so I stuck with what I know.

Beautiful car

Nice car Steve, enjoy it. I also have a red 2013 red coupe, and an 05 silver TL (6- speed). I always say owning the TL was the reason I could afford the vette.Repairs to date (0) except for brakes.

Test picture....I understand that PhotoBucket now charges $399 a year to use IMG codes on 3rd party sites. I used the IMG code to post this.

I gotta get back up to the museum. I've gone twice, both times with my boy, but I've been wanting to go on my own to really take it all in. Such a great place!

The Corvette plant (across the street from the Museum) closes on August 1st for 3 months. They are updating the assembly line, which was last done for the C5's. It reopens on November 1st. The the assembly line will be up to date and the $438 million paint plant update will go on line.

The Museum will remain open, but when you go to the Museum, a visit to the Corvette plant is a must!

Here you go boys....I saw the new Callaway Corvette C7 ZO6 (757 HP and 777 LB/FT. Torque) made into the one of a kind Callaway AeroWagon! And OMG-it was sitting next to an AWESOME looking C7 Stingray!

I still don't see the big deal about that "Aerowagon". There is basically no difference. What, another 3 inches of roofline? That's no wagon.

Yes. I am a stick in the mud.

I think the Aerowagon is cool. That said I would rather have a regular Z06 with the motorwork they do and skip the rear.

Does the Aerowagon just replace the OE hatch glass? A subtle change that doesn't look bad, IMO.
