Got the wife her dream car today... Hurricane Irma sale...
 

I got the wife her dream car today. It is a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport convertible. Black with Gray interior, Black wheels, and Black top. I will post a picture later once I figure how where to host it from since the Photoshop fiasco.

I am not a convertible guy due to all the buffeting wind noise they commonly have. This one actually does not. Roll the windows up and it is just as quite as my Nismo. It was impressive.

Nice!

You can create and album, add the pics there and post the IMG link to the thread.

Congratulations. That's a sharp looking ride. Lucky lady!

The wife seen the pictures on her FB page. :tup:




Wish you would have never posted the pictures on FB. Now I'm getting hammered. :mad: :rofl2:

Ah, she saw the litter of colored Yorkies...LOL Told ya to get ready to take out a loan. Gotta new car to pay for.

Yea, she seen them. :shakes head: All you got to do is sell a couple of puppies to pay for the Vette. I have to sell my soul. :eek:

And?

Sounds like a fair trade to me. Not like you can DRIVE your soul...

:driving:

Because you can sleep in a car, but you can't race a house...

............................and I would be eating ramen noodles the rest of my life too..

So what did your wife have a fit about, the puppies or the car?

Both. :shakes head: :rofl2:

LOL, your in trouble.

When ain't I? :shakes head:

Congratulations on the New 2017 Corvette Grand Sport Edition :tup:

Drove the car out to eat tonight. The 500 mile rev-limit at 4500 rpm is brutally boring to break the engine in. Car handles very good and is extremely comfortable on touring mode with the magnetic shocks. I prefer the sport setting though.

Congrats!

Well, now I understand why guys go from a 370z to a Vette. I am not a Vette person at all and this car is impressive in the handling department. No doubt making me re-think things.

I had the windows tinted today, much better. LOL Can anybody recommend a picture hosting site so I can post pictures.

Imgur still works. But if you upload them as attachnents here, then link to the attachment's URL, the sizing issues seem to go away.

Looking forward to family snaps!

Excellent choice. Congratulations!!

I went form a Vette to a 370z....of course I had a 2008 and a 2013 not the new one. Never driven a new one... However, I did not like the handling feel, kinda like a boat compared to the 370z Nismo, ....less planted, less fun to drive IMOP definitely faster fo sure...Have fun!

It's the wifes. I still have my Nismo. I do enjoy the vette though. It is very nice and it is extremely tempting to just nut up and order a Z06 to my liking.

Took the week off to detail the Vette and my Nismo. Still working on the Vette. It had water spots from H E double hockey sticks. Just about done so I can coat it with Ammo Reflex, Ammo Skin, and then a paste wax. My new Rupes orbital's are awesome. It is soo much easier to polish a car than it was back in the 80's and 90's. Yes, I use to use a Rotory polisher. These DA's are easy. My Nismo is next.

You want to do mine. While I sit back drinking a beer and watch you work? :rofl2:

No thanks, It is taking 2 1/2 days to do each of mine. I just about done with the Nismo. I have been polishing all day and will finish that up tomorrow. I have the back bumper to do. Then it will be coating time, wait 2 hours and apply sealer. I gotta jump on a plan Sunday, I have to finish tomorrow. Ugg.

My 41ft motor home is calling out your name. :eek: Spooler.....Spooler.....Spooler...........please come to wash and wax me!

Last time I did it. It took me 5 days. :shakes head:

So happy for you both :tup:

I'll wax that bad boy then its off to Las Vegas to meet up with Mr. Bob Hotrodz


How many gallons does the tanks hold ?

Its your motorhome you can also come along :roflpuke2::bowrofl::roflpuke2:

100 gal of diesel. 7.5 mpg. 2200 miles one way. Avg gal is around $3.25.

2200 miles Div by 7.5 = 294 gals x 3.25 = $956 one way x 2 = $1912 round trip, or there abouts.

Oh, Bobby is in Az. And you would have to clean it again when we get back.

Outstanding :tup:

Plan.. We drive to Las Vegas Non Stop.. Mr. Bob knows Las Vegas well.. When we return the motor home can then be waxed. Again your invited as well :tup:

Motor home is ready to go. You pay for the fuel, and stock the fridge. Have Yeti for other stuff. :tup:

We have had the car just over a year. Wife still loves it. No issues with it at just over 3500 miles. 2 free oil changes done and the last free one in the future.

I heard that you can no longer deliver puppies in it :( ... :rolleyes:

You heard correct. LOL She uses my truck for this. This was just a time when
I needed it. Never again.

Mine got air mailed. Traveled with her own nanny. :eek:

Precious cargo needs special care.

hey! how'd you get a pic of my house and i didnt see you :wtf2:

:tup: very nice!



black on black......way to copy me :bowrofl:
