~I told my Manager, get ready for it to get busy this past week...he looked at me and said "you are already non stop busy"...I agreed but it will be even busier. This time of year with Corvettes at Carlisle two weeks away, the new 2017's, Grand Sports are Hot and the '17 Z06 around the corner...well the writing is on the wall. After 39 years selling Corvettes I can feel and see the trends ahead of time, I guess that's what experience does for you that as a 25 year old I was probably just riding the wave and not seeing what created the wave. 24 months ago I started accepting 100% refundable deposits for the Mid Engine/C8/Zora/Emperor that is rumored to come out in 2018 as a 2019. Let's see what happens but as you can tell, it's been selling a lot of magazines recently.
*You can follow my Corvette deliveries on my CorvetteFurman Facebook page and below are some cool pics and back stories from this week.
~Ben D from Herndon, Va bought his last Callaway from me in 2011 when he saw me displaying it at the Callaway Tent on the infield at the Corvettes at Carlisle event...well this time he is actually taking delivery Live on site at the Corvettes at Carlisle event right from the Callaway booth on the infield next to GM's tent. Saturday 1:30 Aug 27th...stop by and see Ben's new Callaway Z06, very Rare I may add as it is a 2016 Admiral Blue with Twilight Blue interior...and it will have 757HP! Callaway will have Ben's new Z on display Thursday thru Saturday. I will go over the whole car with Ben and then he will ZOOM away. Here are a few pics from inside Callaway headquarters in Old Lyme, CT.
~Chris S of Upper Marlboro, MD has been in contact with me for the past 6 months as he was stationed in Kuwait. He arrived back in the States this week and had set up an appt. with me the very next day. Chris traded in his 2015 laguna Blue Z51 for this fully loaded Race Yellow 2016 Z06/Z07. He could not have been more appreciative and happy!
~Gary N from Marlboro, NJ had been in contact with me for a few weeks before he decided to pull the trigger and factory order for Corvette Museum delivery his new 2017 Stingray Cpe in Arctic White with Jet Black interior which looks great with the Carbon Flash Hood stripe and Black Machined wheels.
~Matt R from Spring Hill, Tenn called me two months ago and he was between getting a Z06 and a Grand Sport...he chose Grand Sport Convt as he plans to commute to the office as often as he can. Triple Black with the visible Carbon Fiber ground effects pkg, Carbon Flash Badge pkg, Carbon Fiber Instr panel, GS black wheels and Z15 GS Heritage pkg make this Corvette look stealth. Matt just took Corvette Museum delivery yesterday so I will post some better pictures next week.
~Jen K from Santa Rosa, CA Factory ordered a 2017 Torch Red Z51 Convt to be drop shipped to her local Chevrolet dealer. The Corvette has been shipped and the paperwork has completed the Fed Ex process and once the Vette arrives I will have some great pictures. Jen ordered a fully loaded Z51 Convt in Torch Red while her friend Jim ordered "Two" 2017 Z06 Convt's to be specially prepared by Callaway! I can't wait to see those three Corvettes pictured together!
~Some other deliveries this week...
view of the Corvette service lane...
and where do all the throw away shipping covers go? ...the dumpster.
RJ picking up his Z06 from Service Tech Luke. Luke was going over some things explaining about what he did to lower the car from the stock settings. I have known Luke since he got out of high school, he is a great Corvette Tech.
~Throwback picture time and some cool shots of the C7R...
~*Drive safe today and enjoy!

I'm loving Mike's weekly installment. It's become my new Sunday morning ritual over coffee, having recently returned to the Corvette community after an 8-year absence.
