Curious to know why not.

Curious to know why not.

Same reason I don’t keep bikes or guns long.

We old. We get bored easy.

Yeah, I get that. I love the color and the red interior. Any plans for track days?

According to that mpg you haven’t used the skinny pedal enough 😜

One of my favorite features on newer cars - they FINALLY give you individual tire pressure info. More than once I’ve chased a low tire pressure warning between four tires…and the spare!

Nice ride! Hope you enjoy it.

 

[DogFather]

Nice ride

 

[CZfool68]

That’s a pretty ride, but I would so destroy that thing driving the road up to the cabin. It may also not be good uphill in the snow and ice. I’d need a 2nd ride,

If OEM pressure sensors give you fits or you need them for a trailer or some other vehicle check out TST TPMS. Screw a sensor on the valve stem that transmits to a monitor about the size of a cell phone. Working well for me.

careful with those sensors on rubber stems. They will flex the stems enough for the sensor to hit the wheel and could cause leakage.
Get your rubber stems replaced with metal stems.

She likes it mostly because I like it.
She could care less either way.

That’s good. My wife did not like my Mustangs. Or going fast. Or squealing tires. Or....Or.... Or....

Mid life crisis?

Just always had sports cars of some kind. I’ve been saying since I was about 7 yrs old I was going to buy a brand new one.

Beautiful car, I'm just jealous I can't fit in one. 😭

It’s a snug fit. at 6’1” 260,,, A little more room than a C7

I test drove a used, late C6 Corvette before I bought an ‘04 Mustang Cobra.

At 6’3” 220lbs I was really surprised at how roomy the ‘Vette was.

Let me clear with my insurance agent and you can keep it one weekend😎

 

[Majicmike]

That’s gonna be about best it will do. Pretty much no wheel spin

 

[Got2hav1]

Really nice ride. I like the color combo. I'm on my 7th Corvette. Back in June I found a C7 Z06 2015 model with 4K miles. It's a blast! Enjoy that new ride.
