Default Countdown to C7

This Sunday night there will be a live video feed of the unveiling:
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...day-night.html

I know where I'll be.

I have the distinction of being the same age as the Corvette brand having been born on the day of the announcement and showing of the original C1.

With the exception of the C5 - C6 all generations have been greatly different in profile. Will the spy pics be accurate? Will there be anything gross about the new design? Will it still be affordable?
It won't be long now.......

I prefer to call it "age challenged" or "pre-geriatric"

I'm anxious to see what they look like, too. I don't know if I'd call any new Corvette "affordable". I think of a small sedan as that, that's just me though, lol.

Well, that's it.
The new "Stingray " is born.
Corvette is now 60 yrs old. (in a few days)
The "suits" were not impressive to me.
The car is.

it's awful. whoever designed the rear end should have been drowned at birth for the good of all corvette kind. Did the camaro not sell as well as they hoped and they had a stock pile of tail lights and they thought we wouldn't notice? Big vents on the rear quarters, so water will flood whatever is under then in the rain or being washed?

I'm so pissed off i'm going to go watch ted
