New toy for the wife and I
Well the wife and I decided to buy a new toy for us. The amount of technology in the 2015 Corvette is pretty phenomenal.

Yeah they did. We were going to buy an older classic car, but when she seen the new Corvette she fell in love with it. We ordered it almost 6 months ago.

No disrespect taken man. It looks way better without the plate. Thank you for your comment. Now I just have to make sure my Firebird is quicker lol.

Beautiful car!! Thats the color I would choose too. Congrats!
This Vette is really something else. Im sure the designers at GM are sitting back in their seats patting themselves on the back for a job well done. I was never a fan of Corvettes until this car came along. |

You don't have to run a front plate in Washington anymore or do you have another solution?
Nice car btw, I like the color.

We are supposed too, but I have 2 cars without them. They really don't pull you over anymore unless they are fishing for something else. Thank you.

Nice Vette! Front plates are gross, cars look 100x better without front plates.

Thanks everyone for the accolades. Well someone dropped the ball on the car. We special ordered what we wanted on the car and somewhere along the way the navigation and performance data recorder were not ordered or put on the car during the build. We are deciding whether or not we want the car. This is a pretty big disappointment for my wife and me.
