Congrats Mike on another wonderful week of making people's Holiday Dreams come true 
For those of you who don't know or haven't dealt with him personally, I want to explain something about this guy.
Mike is the type of guy that even after the car is sold and you are long gone, whenever you have a question he answers back usually within hours and if it's longer than that there's an apology prefacing the answer. and he ALWAYS has them.
It's a pleasure to have him around to help with issues/concerns one might have or come across as a new NEW Corvette Owner. Having purchased so many new vehicles (majority being GM) I cannot STRESS enough that not having the tension of worrying "is my salesman still there???" does when it comes to dealing with Mike. He eases the concerns and that makes me feel easy about things that pop up with my Z06.. I can say the same for my friend who purchased a Z06 from Mike one week later.. the Best 3.5hr trip i've ever made lol
Thanks Mike..

Drifting
Had the pleasure of meeting Mike Furman today. The man definitely knows his stuff and is as easy to talk with as a friendly neighbor. More Corvettes than you can shake a stick at - and a great way to compare colors, trim levels and styles side by side.
It just makes it harder to choose which one you want. Doh!

Team Owner
Thanks for the vintage photos.
While a minority, women do own Corvettes of their own.
I have seven lady friends that own a Corvette.
My State Farm agent(single lady) has a C5, since 2003.
Another single lady(retired) has a red 2015 C7 Z06 with the M7.
Another lady(married but is 100% her car as he has never driven any of her Corvettes over the years) has a 2015 Stingray.
Another lady(married) has a 2016 C6 Z06 A8(but her husband also has a 2016 C7 Z06 M7).
Another lady friend has a 1967 327 convertible with a PG.(her husband has a 1967 convertible with a 427 4-speed). Together they have a 2012 GS Callaway SC606 convertible A6. It was originally her car, but then her husband sold his 2009 C6 ZR1, so now they share.
Two other single lady friends also own Corvettes
And that is just in a very rural area of southwest Missouri.
The original owner of my 1964 Coupe(300HP, PG, PW, PB, PS, posi, AM/FM, all tinted glass, WW's, leather, but no air), was a 45 year old lady that lived in North Hollywood California. It was her car and she only drove it 14,400 miles from 1963 to 1978. I have the original sales agreement(in her name) and the original California registration(in her name) as well as a letter from her about the car.

Glad to see the ladies stepping up to Corvette, as the C7 is the most civilized generation ever, and well suited for female gender cruising.
Going to miss the Shark Gray.
We previewed Mike's new post card, and it is stunning. Featured color on the C7 in the post card is the Black Rose.
Looking forward to the pics and story line on your twin Callaway deliveries in California!!!
