If the black one with the stripes was tinted, it would look wicked.

It was 55 degrees in Kansas City today. We got the Stingray out for a while tonight! This is the park by our house.

Woaaaw looks beautiful
But no high res
2nd one looks clean though.
Why you take out Stingray, isn't there salt on the road?

^^^ Yea, sorry Koko-it was SO beautiful out. We decided to go to the park at the last second, so these are iPhone pictures.
Not a whole lot of salt-hopefully. It was SO great to get her out tonight. Even my wife enjoyed the ride!

from what I understood from the dealer, the tires/wheels have some temp sensor and if the temps are low, there is a big chance the wheel can crack...
I was telling Steven to put some snow tires on the OEM wheels and buy summer wheel setup with summer tires (or transfer the summer tires from OEM wheels to summer wheels)....but after hearing what the dealer said, it made sense to just store the car for the winter....
I know Steven coated the car with 22PLE but unless the car is wrapped to save it from the salt/sand, I for one wudnt drive my 75-80K car in the snow....hell, I dont like to take my clean TL out when the ground is wet LOL....

I wish, Ross.....
Here's where I am with the steering wheel. On Christmas Eve, I had a text conversation with the guy I'm purchasing it from. He sincerely apologized because the company making my wheel is supposed to have this finished quite a while ago.
He said he expects it to be shipped this week-I'm not holding my breath........
Thanks for asking!

First Vette OP?...Enjoy the "7" it is a Beast...In about two weeks the C7Z06 will be unleashed on the world cant wait...
Vetters don't double park we walk...jmho
you can lower her on stock bolts and not screw up the magnetic ride control...great info on corvetteforum/C7 section...
He is full of BS...discounts are now being offered on non-Z51 2014 and before spring all will be discounted...
Yep I'm Vette crazy. Enjoy The Beast OP..
Vetters don't double park we walk...jmho
same with me... at the NYC auto show, my wife absolutely loved the convertible stingray and said i should pull the trigger on my dream car... problem is, the sales manager at the local dealer where my friend's bought their C6's from already said that the 2014 models will be marked up $15k over MSRP.... 2015 will fetch $8k mark-up... incentives won't be released until 2016...
I'll wait till Dec 2015 to pick up a leftover...

Yes, this is my first Corvette.
I was reading about lowering it in the CorvetteForum.com. That forum is also owned by IB.

Yep, SB is Vette Crazy already too. His fun will come in the Spring; looking good for the Holidays SB. I would lower the stock bolts before the Spring for sure. Your MR Z51 C7 definitely sits higher than my former Non-MR Z51. Not sure why the C7 is like that vs. the C6 models with MR and their ride heights. I can't wait for the C7 Z06 too. I *may* try to snag one up early....
