2020 C3 of the Year Winner- Unmodified
Default My c3 finally delivered

Well, after two months of waiting (and who knows how
many more)I decided to have the corvette shipped. Why wait if I can have someone let the car
in and tuck it away for
when
i arrive. Purchased the car before the covid pandemic (never anticipated this). I’m stuck in Mexico so I will have to wait a little while to go to my home but at least it’s safe and sound keeping the other metal company in its own garage.
needless to say, extremely happy

There are less restrictions here in the states, and there’s no current formalized lockdowns. I’m hoping I’ll get through this and we all get back to enjoying your car soon

Car looks fantastic! Great color. And I always love the look of the vinyl-covered hardtop with the little chrome covered points at the rear.

Congrats and I hope you get home soon!


Oh, man! Just watched the video-- sounds so good. If I were you I would get home fast!!

Beautiful C3 with 427 no less, and knowing me, I would want it now.

Time will fly, and you will be rolling in it, having fun!
