I was pretty brand loyal GMC all the way from the time I could drive (79) until 2001 when my wife got a Nissan Xterra, then a few years later an FJ cruiser. Then in 12 she got a Range Rover. I was still a die hard corvette guy, and a GMC truck guy. I have had five corvettes, and 10 GMC trucks. When I went to trade my GMC 1 ton crew cab dually for a 1/2 ton I wanted a Denali. Dealer I bought my dually from said he would give me top dollar as I bought it there and it was service there, 1 owner low millage. Offered me 20K. I was not impressed with the same tiny sun room in the 2017 denali that my 06 truck had. I also didnt like no push button start. Or that you had to push a button on your key to lock or unlock the door. Truck was very dated. They also would not come but 2K off sticker. My wifes 12 range rover you didn't need to take key fob out of pocket for any reason, same with my 14 Stingray and 17 Harley. So I decided to do the un-thinkable, I went to look at a F-150. Well the platinum no need to take fob out of pocket, much nicer sun roof, nicer seats, more updated sound system, better cameras. Ford offered me 25K for my truck. They also said they would take 8K off their truck. The Denali and Platinum MSRP was 200 dollars different. No brainer to buy the Ford.
I have 22K miles on the F-150 and other than the poor mpg, compared to what window sticker says it will get I love the truck.
Sold the 14 Stingray, now in an 18 Grand Sport.
Just traded my 14 Stingray, Z51, 3LT, Manual 7 speed car. It was a special order, fully loaded car with 18500 miles on it. Got 45K for it. Great car, very comfortable for trips, and handles great. I replaced it with the 2018 65th anniversary Carbon 65 Grand Sport. It too is a M7 car.
The C8 will be out in 2020 they say, looks to be mid engine.
The C7 is the best riding most comfortable and best handling corvette ever.
Looks like a really nice Grand Sport! I have still never warmed up to the tail lights on the C7, and the cockpit is definitely tighter than the C6. They are good looking cars (minus the tail lights ), and they are much more up to date on the tech than the C6s. I love my Centennial and don't forsee trading or selling it any time in the near future.
Would love to have a backhoe attachment for my Deere 5205 light ag tractor. I am still light years ahead of the tired, well-used 1966 Farmall 706 gas that I had prior to the Deere. But I have to say, they don't make them like they used to; there is something very satisfying about working 50+ year old iron.
So we picked it up today and showed her, her new home, 2018 CAN-AM Outlander MAX XT 850 . Man she is a beauty! Just can't wait to get out on the trails. Been spending a lot of time going through the Operator's Guide and tonight going to view the safety DVD.
Heated hand grips & throttle lever, 3000lb WARN winch, high windshield, 6" front rack and large trunk box. More mods to follow.

The new C7's are really awesome on the track. On the 2.2 mile road course at Spring Mountain, the 2013 ZO6 with a professional driver at the wheel could not beat the 14 Stingray Z51 with a professional driver around the track. The new C7 handles so much better than the C6 that the extra power was no advantage on a 10 turn track. The Z06 would catch the Stingray on the back straight, but through the turns the 14 would pull a good bit ahead.
I cant wait to go back to spring mountain this year with the grand sport as it has much wider tires front and rear, and better suspension, with more down force to keep the car glued to the track. I have owned a corvette since 1985 and have always had at least one, and several times two.
