What color top RB?
Black.

Mom, this car has ungodly power (460 hp) and handling and wonderful electronics and luxury amenities, including a 10 speaker Bose stereo. It has 5 driving modes: touring, wet, eco (4 cylinders shut off and 30 mpg), sport, and track). Each driving mode has different has different suspension and exhaust settings and different dash displays, including tach and speedo. It's an absolute electronic marvel.

What year and color is Skip's C6? We'll have to go on a drive together sometime.

on that Black Top!

2005 Black w/ Black interior ( I'll find a for ya & toss it into the POTD Tread )

YOU are gonna this thing! Just yeah get used 2 her cuz they are a BeastMobile even the C-6

Look forward 2 a with you two if you'll let Jackie sandwich in so she doesn't get left behind

Best wishes and ENJOY Her

Sweet George!

What did you do with the S?
I'm going to sell it, Dave. It needs some work first. (I got rearended last Friday -- minor.) I'll still hang out here with my friends, of course.
George, as your adopted son, I believe that you should pass it along to me. I'll even take it with the minor damage.

I don't believe the adoption papers were ever finalized, Dave.

No wonder I never got any birthday or Christmas presents from you.

I'm so sorry!

We go up the 210 to the 30 to the 330 to the 18 and back down the 38 to the 10 to the 30 to the 210. We should meet up there sometime soon. We know all the good places to eat.

The car is wonderful. Very comfortable. All kinds of electronic gadgets. 10-speaker Bose stereo. Five driving modes: touring, wet, eco (four cylinders shut down and 30 mpg on the highway), sport, and track, each with different exhaust and suspension settings. I feel like a rock star. Everywhere I go, the car draws a crowd. People yell out their windows at me. I have to baby it until the 500 mile break in, but it goes 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and pulls 1.16 Gs on the skidpad.

There is a 4-6 month wait on orders from the factory. Kerbeck Cadillac/Chevrolet/Buick/GMC in Atlantic City, NJ is the largest Corvette dealership in the world: 90 in stock or in transit from the factory in Bowling Green, KY. I picked out the exact car I wanted when it was on a truck somewhere between Bowling Green and Atlantic City -- going in the wrong direction. I arranged for my own shipping. A big transporter showed up at my house last Thursday. All of that took only 10 days, including bad weather in the East.

I read an online C7 review last week. "when you push the start button, the C7 doesn't just fire up, it announces itself like a lion falling through a nursery roof."

And the car is registered in New Jersey?!?!? Have you got Rocco and Sal delivering it to you?
Actually, the driver who delivered it was a young Latino guy that lives in LA. The transport company dispatcher is Lithuanian lady whose English wasn't so good. She said I couldn't speak directly with the driver en route because he doesn't speak English. Actually, the driver spoke perfect English.
I would have delivered it if you asked.
