Default My New Toy

First joined CL with a 2013 ES, then got a GS, then a 750, and now a Stingray all in 4 years. Damn I have an expensive addiction.

Congratulations! The Corvette has returned to looking like a true exotic car while offering the best bang for the buck performance. Enjoy!

Thanks. It was between white and silver. My previous car was white so I figured I'd give that a break.

Silver(or any lighter color) is great on these new Vettes, really shows off the body lines. Black or dark colors kind of hide the creases and details IMO. Congrats on the new toy, and BTW automatic or manual???? I won't hate on you too much if you bought the automatic, they are a lot better than they used to be with more ratios and computers that make sure you're in the right gear.
