So, I had just finished lunch and was driving back to my brother-in-law's house (I'm in Lubbock visiting relatives), when I saw this:
I've seen the new C7s before but never up close, as they've always been driving the opposite way or I was in a hurry. I'll admit that I wasn't initially a fan of its new styling but after seeing it up close, it's starting to grow on me. Sorry for the picture quality, I only had the iPhone with me.

Saw it in British racing green, MOTHER OF GOD is it beautiful. This particular car was missing a roof, a pedal, and had wheels that were a little too shiny for me, though.

BRG Vette? YES
Auto, vert, and chavy wheels? No. No thank you.

Exactly. It was also $80k, which was absurd.

Yeah I saw your post. Amazing color for sure. If it had the Z51 pack and a manual it would be just about perfect.

There is one that I see on the expressway in this color all the time. So beautiful.

So glad they aren't color-coding their headlights anymore. Honda Fit, anyone?

I'm pretty sure it had the Z51 pack, but the auto ruined for me. At least I could play with the paddles on the steering wheel.

They also have not zero, not one, but two ELRs! They're never going to sell them!

Maybe it's a comparison play.
"ELR for $90k? No way, hosa. I'll be leaving that $20k in my pocket, along with the keys to that sweet green vette with the awesome wheels, thanks."

I agree.

That sounds like the majority of the American population!

This straight line here, I do not like.

RHS wheels are backwards.

The fuck?! How did I not notice that?
I bet neither the future buyer or the dealership will notice either.

Well, they're not actually backwards. These particular wheels were just designed as one casting/forging at all 4 corners, instead of having the correct spin on each side, which would require 2 separate casting/forgings. It's cost saving. And it looks really dumb.
