[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 130562, member: 3252"] I guess I was selfish for us while absorbing all the ZR1s ... actually this might be very likely why the fella demanded that my cell phone gets put away before suggesting a something-something ... that kinda-sorta checks off a selfish "opportunity" that suddenly popped up on my bucket list. Everyone else will have to take my word for it ... or give me a YYSSW ... I have obtained "spousal" approval to get a ZR1 but it likely will not materialize due to what I have since experienced and not enjoying with "hoops of frustrating shenanigans" of obtaining one in Canada which includes dealer sales "legitimacy judgement" that I keep getting - even after showing that I have already hugged one of these beauties. Last time I got a "ya I bet you wish..." reply was back in 1984 while considering a Showroom Trans Am and driving a week later in my new Z28 from another dealer. Don't get me wrong though as it is an awesome experience while seriously considering to obtain an initial release ZR1 ... although shelved until 2020 ... here's my 2019 ZR1 affair photograph ... the one that received "spousal" approval for trading his&hers C7s :thumbs: [ATTACH]16166[/ATTACH] As for youtube stardom ... well I don't think I'd be very good at all the es'plaining that I would have to do ... the grin gets in the way :Biggrin: about this video this guy did ... Most everyone who knows me would be assured of a review with a spotless ZR1 Corvette ... argh I still remain traumatized for a different video when Jay Leno slammed the back hatch down on a C7 ... I'd save you that "pain". I chose the convertible and low profile back spoiler as the only thing I really struggle to embrace is what I had to do to put in the coupe roof panel in the high wing hatch area.
