Default I picked it up today!

Well, 12:30 I walk into the showroom, 2:30 I drive out of the parking lot :steering: in my new baby!!!! It had 10 miles on it when I drove it off the lot, it now has about 45 :yesnod: I don't smile often, not that I'm an unhappy person, I just don't smile much, but all day, I looked like this :D I love this car so much. I haven't gone above 65 in it, letting it break in nice and well, but I know this thing is an absolute beast :yesnod: Anyways, I couldn't be happy with my decision, and I will love this car for many years to come. The only thing I'm unhappy about, is the fact that I ordered the nice two tone black and yellow Stormshield car cover from ecklers on monday, and paid 40 dollars extra to get it shipped overnight rush so it would definitly be here for when I got the car today, wednesday, 2 days later. I come home tonight at around 9 or so from being out all day, to find that my cover, still wasn't here! :mad :mad Now my baby has to sit outside all night not covered :sad: :sad: :mad :mad Well, other then that, this day will always be a day that I will remember, the day I bought my first Corvette. :cheers:

Grats on Z06!

Had mine since Nov 2, and the smile hasn't faded at all.
