Default Got a real lady in the garage now.

Just got back from South Carolina in my 13 Corvette and I must say this car is a real lady with finess and manners out the wazoo.One of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven.600 miles and no fatigue or back pain.No wonder the median age of a new Corvette buyer is 55.LOL.Gonna take a while to get used to the stick with 425hp,but I ran her hard and got 27.6 mpg on regular gas,now that is impressive.

Gary I saw the pic of you and your new toy on Facebook last night. Looking good !!! I know that you probably showed her who was boss. So what was the top speed you got up to on your 600 mile trip. And don't tell us 55.
