Corvette C7 ownership continues to be a short lived joy...

...before turning into a pure nightmare, leaving bitter aftertaste and avoidance not just toward the latest Corvette but anything made by General Motors altogether.

Now, instead of this blog bludgeoning Tadge Juechter (all well deserved), why not quote another formerly happy owner instead.  Juchter and GM, are you listening?  Of course you are not...

 After 2 months of dealing with this C7, its clear that being a GM owner is just not for me. The transmission has been pulled from the car 3 times now, and the issues are still not resolved.

I'm just over it. The only possible reason to spend this kind of money on a sports car is if you enjoy it. Even if it was fixed today, the experience has completely eroded any kind of enjoyment that I was hoping to get from Owning a Corvette. 

It's just not a Viable car to own long-term, and I would not consider owning a GM car at this point under any circumstance. Just look at the other transmission failures across the rest of their product lines...

A big F-YOU also to Classic Chevrolet in Sugarland, TX for throwing up their hands. The tech even confirmed that the engineis still running so rough that its triggering the knock sensor, but they just aren't going to do anything about it.

Just throwing this out there before I deactivate my account here, just in case I can possibly save one person from the terrible mistake I made by assuming that a C7 Corvette is a viable vehicle to actually drive further than 10,000mi without its drivetrain imploding. 

Queue the GM apologists replying, telling me how ridiculous I am, and how their car is super-great. Out of 3 people I know with C7's, now all 3 of us have had transmission replacements. You can't tell me that's an anomaly. 

It's just not a well built car. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
