Hello All!
I'm looking forward to joining the Corvette community in the near future! I'm recent grad of Kettering University (Old GMI) an engineer for GM and I'm currently waiting on an allocation at my local dealership!
Never owned a 'Vette, but looking forward to changing that. My current ride is 2005 Mazda RX-8 (Foreign!? What!? I know, I know! Find me another practical car you can get on a college kinds budget
). Before that my first car that was truly mine was a 1991 Old's Cutlass Supreme Manual Coupe, with the 3.1l, and an awesome cord you pulled to change the temp because the temperature solenoid was broken!
Believe it or not, the Cutlass had an LCD display! With digital readout for speed, and the RX-8 had the same, So its great that the C7 has an equivalent Speedo as well. After 8 years of driving with a Digital readout, analogue speedos seem so imprecise and slow!
As far as color goes, Right now I'm leaning toward LB, with Yellow calipers, CF mirrors and spoiler, and either Black or Kalahari interior. My only issue is that LB doesn't POP in sub par lighting. Whats tempting me away is that Velocity Yellow florescence!
I still can't make up my mind! Any suggestions or rebuttals?
Here's a thread I just made with my different terrible photoshop thought experiments: Some Quick Photoshops I've Done
Let me know what you think!
Also, Here's my current baby all waxed up!
Together!
A different Day, a different wax!
Other interests include: Sports, Microbreweries, Travel, Video games (LoL), Board games, Books of all kinds, Hiking, Anime, Android, and snowboarding.
Thanks again! This seems like a great community!
