Vin #00005 has arrived!!
Let the good times roll!
The shipping truck showed up to my home in San Jose, CA with a special delivery unexpectedly two days early!
Big special thanks to Myron Marcyniak and the folks at Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, Texas for making this happen!!! Their service has been absolutely amazing during this whole process and I highly recommend them for your future corvette purchase.
My girlfriend took a few videos of my reaction upon it's arrival which I will have to post soon along with many many more photos I'll upload as well
For never test driving a corvette and making the order over the phone sight unseen - I am highly impressed with this cars performance! I am going nice and easy as it is taking some getting used to but I'll get the hang of it soon enough - this car is an absolute blast!

Thank you for all the kind words!
We look like crap lol (we were in the middle of refinishing some hardwood floors and were not expecting the early arrival) but the car looks great!!!
The car is an absolute blast. I am here at work just waiting to get home so I can take it for a spin!

Funny story
Last night I drove to Petco to pick up some dog food. I come out of the store and there were people standing there in the parking lot taking photos of the car haha.
Then I am almost home (windows happened to be down at this time) and while at a stop light I hear "Nice car!". I look over to my left to find a couple sitting in a yellow C5 Corvette. Had a quick chat with them at the light and then proceeded home
