This is the greatest Corvette ever - and it's only $70,000

Suffice it to say that we really, really like Vettes. The C7 Stingray was our 2014 Business Insider Car of the Year. It set a whole new standard for this most American of vehicles (still bolted together with patriotic care in beautiful Bowling Green, Kentucky).
Since we got behind the wheel of the glorious Stingray with a 7-speed manual transmission, we've sampled the same car in a convertible version with an automatic - and outfitted with Apple CarPlay - and taken a rocket-ship ride on the supercar-defying Zo6, a 650-horsepower monster of a machine.
We thought we'd seen it all, Vette-wise. And then an Arctic White 2017 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible paid us a brief visit. Too brief - we had it for only about a day and half. But we lucked out on the weather in the Northeast, before some harsh winter conditions set in.
There aren't too many cars available right now that are this good. And there are none that are this good for a base price of about $70,000. Ours stickered at $85,910, and it was nicely appointed (the "Black Suede Design Package" alone added four grand) .
Here's what we thought:
- I spent $2,000 for 7 nights in a 179-square-foot room on one of the world's largest cruise ships. Take a look inside my cabin.
- Colon cancer rates are rising in young people. If you have two symptoms you should get a colonoscopy, a GI oncologist says.
- Saudi Arabia wants China to help fund its struggling $500 billion Neom megaproject. Investors may not be too excited.
