Comin' back stronger than ever!

over the last couple of years with retirement from the Army, starting a new career during COVID and buying a new house. Came up for air briefly in the Spring with the purchase of the new Gen3. She is undergoing some mods still and will be back on the road soon.

Since I was about 8 and leading up to my retirement I had a strong desire to own a Corvette. Got to ride and drive with friends and family in theirs, but never had my own. Circumstances never seemed quite right and then the motorcycle itch became quite an infection. Finally settling down with those and everything else and decided it was time to get my retirement gift.

Couldn't find anything locally, but through several nationwide searches found one in my long-time home, the State of Texas. Very good seller that put up with all my requests for pics and documentation on his 2019 Black C7 GS M7 2LT with Kooks Headers and X-Pipe w/ High Flow Cats, AFE CAI and Ceramic Coating. The car had a very unmolested 14,600 miles on it. We agreed on a price and after the financial transaction was complete was able to get transport arranged through Montway Auto Transport this past Thursday and took delivery today.

Here are a few pics right off the truck. Since I am waiting on the registration documents I am going to install a few accessories (LED interior lights, radar detector with mirror mount, WeatherTech floor liners) and battery tender. Stay tuned for further updates and more pics.

Since everything I've been looking at corvettes like crazy, wish I could afford a c7 z06 but out of my price range. But a few c6 grand sports are around for a fair price I really like. Just look tight in the hood area for a single turbo setup with-out a massive hood (don't want twins on rear of exhaust). Beautiful car btw!

Thanks. Glad you're recovering. Yeah, the prices for cars, in general, are getting out of control. The Z06 was out of my price range, too. Every now and then there will be a unicorn that pops up. Hope you find the one you're looking for.
 
Although the latest generation of the Corvette is a beautiful machine, in my opinion this version of the Corvette is one I can identify with still.

It embodies everything a Corvette is supposed to be.

Couldn't agree more. The new Vette looks like a cheap Lambo or Ferrari. That and the fact that it does not have the option for manual transmission were are reasons I wouldn't want one. I also like the styling of the C6 and have it as #2 on my list.
 
We don't see many if any of these over here in the UK.
But i have to say, it looks fast even when its not moving.
I am loving the back end, it looks sweet.
Enjoy your new toy and don't forget about the busa.
We just need to see a photo of them both together now.

I saw a silver one like yours yesterday...the (older) owner said he bought it new and put a full Borla exhaust and an intake (I couldn't remember what intake he put on it though)....I also noted it had Brembos all around

I laughed as my buddy pointed out his hair matched the color of his car and that was a 'nice touch'...
