2017 Corvette Grand Sport

It's boring sometimes shooting hdpe...

I don't know, just seeing my face in there, it looks strange.

The lack of enthusiastic grinning is a concern.

Right? I should at least photoshop a big dumb smile on there if I'm going to make it a Christmas card.

I dunno man… I know it’s kinda hard to see the faces of professional race car drivers’ face, but I kinda doubt they’d be grinning while driving an awesome race car… maybe grinning after a great lap or a win, but not during, right?

Or just look at any other professionals in whatever field… do you see musicians playing with grins on their faces during their performances? Professional athletes? Professional porn actors?

If you grin while doing something pleasurable which also requires a lot of concentration, that’ll probably make you look more like a novice doofus!

The ownership experience has transitioned from the magic of "I can't believe this is real" to the magic of "this is real, I'm not dreaming, and it's not over". I didn't nail all the pictures I took today, but I told myself "it's ok, I could just try again tomorrow. Or next week. Or next year." It's not a rental, it's mine.

Don't hold on to past dreams forever man! In couple of years, trade up to a 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 please!

No

[Crazed_Insanity]

Okay, then maybe wait a few more years and see if you can find a good deal on an used 2023 C8 Z06 in the year 2026?

Look forward to more fall color pictures from you in a 2023 Z06.

Don't get me wrong, you current pics look great too.

Those cars are likely going to remain expensive for a long while, and will never come with a manual transmission. My next big purchase, if it ever comes, will be a home that is more suitable for hosting. Or an electric car to use for days when a 2-seat rocketship isn't the best mode of transport.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Fine, after the purchase of your new home and a more practical daily driver EV, if you do have extra money, don't forget about this Z06, okay?

I've always like Corvettes, but never really wanted to own one... except this new one I think. Need to make more money 1st...
