Dude if you can afford it, take a break. If you don't take a break, and start working you never will. I saved enough for 18 months, and my budget was way higher so I'm already on my 24th month. If I decide to cash my IRA that will buy another 6.5 years.

I finally saw my first C7 at the dealer in Carlsbad. It does not look much different in person than it does in pictures.

my take:
-ass does not look big in real life
-car/wheelbase longer looking
- a lot of orange peel on the paint for a $69k car
- front brake calipers much bigger looking in person (these kinds of details and other unseen stuff are going to make the car very improved). What a great base level of equipment.
-it was locked, but the interior look great.

The car was already sold -it was optioned up so high though, kind of puts you off on the whole possibility of actually trading up.

Something GM is notorious for doing. I agree, for a $69K car paint should be slick.

I saw three C7s this weekend at the OCMD boardwalk parade, plus one on the road after the show (pretty sure it wasn't from the show...it was heading towards OC). 2 of the 3 were customer cars. It DOES look better in person, somewhat. It also still makes me think C6.5...

I'm still not in love with it, but the bile has come down a little
