Default Bravo TV~ Video/Pics~The Stingray is the Star of this Reality Show last eve***

Lights...Camera...Action. Bravo TV asked me to be on this Reality Show call "Newlyweds-The First Year." The concept for the TV Show is that 4 Newlywed couples are filmed for One Year. One of the couples lives nearby Criswell and he wanted to purchase a new Corvette. Last March he came in with his Father and took a test drive in a new Stingray. Then in August we ordered a fully loaded 2015 Stingray Z51 cpe. Last nights episode had Kirk and Laura taking delivery of their (his) new Stingray. Here are pictures from that day and the two minute video clip which was aired last night on Bravo TV.

click on this first pic and it will be the two minute video.



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

























































Thats a wrap...

Way to go!!!

I think I was on episode 2 when they test drove a Stingray (March 2014) and then last nights episode was #9.

I have a hunch there was an agreement to put on the Criswell decal for the actual filming and to remove it afterwards. Makes sense as it is good advertising for Criswell and as I understand it Mike does not ordinarily add the decal.

You are correct. I do not deliver any Corvette with a dealer decal on the back...and I pulled that decal off in a nano second moments after the TV shoot. Only on with double sided tape.

I had noticed that in the video, too. But knowing you, I didn't even bother to ask. If there was ever a Corvette salesman that knew not to put dealer stickers on, you would know.

Thank you and you are correct. I wouldn't want it on my car and I certainly wouldn't put it on anyone else's.

You missed your calling Mike...... you should have been in front of a camera from the get go. But then you would not have had the opportunity to sell over 4,000 Corvettes in your 38 year career. You were a natural in the video, and you could tell your excitment was genuine...... and most importantly unscripted.

Really liked the sold informational flyer on the dash in the front windshield. That gave you and Criswell some additional brownie points and well deserved recognition.

Hope that Laura does not try driving the new C7 with those heels on. Best that she slips on some flat soled shoes for her jaunts to the store or out with the Corvette Divas.

It just occured to us that Kirk and Laura accomplished in less than a year of marriage what it took Lyn and I to accomplish in 30 years...... buying that first Corvette.

Well done, Mike. You will now need a new office space to find enough room to add the memorabilia of this adventure to your ever expanding collection.

Lets all hope that the marriage lasts well past the life of the tires on this C7!!!

Could this be a new career for Mike? Searching the Internet for rumours that he is going to be the next Batchelor
