Here you go...
No wonder you haven't driven it. Looks like it would make an excellent ice skate! Beautiful car, enjoy (when the snows gone)!

I realize weather conditions may limit you some, but you can't lock up a beast like that. Now take her out and let her stretch her legs!

Where did you find the VR color-matched parts? Most after-market sources are saying GM won't give them an estimated time for production in VR.

Congratulations; beautiful car!

Thanks everyone! I just love it!!! and it will get plenty of miles but, not yet. the salt powder is so think in the air....can you imagine trying to stop the corrosion?
My dealer couldn't get the VR color parts, so he had his paint guys paint the parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am telling you this dealer is really VERY GOOD. I am aware that Dave at Kerbeck has a fabulous reputation, but here in the MIdwest Eric is going to equal Dave. You saw the trailer delivery? the delivery was FREE!

Congrats! Have fun fighting off all the chicks.
Since you can't drive it I guess you can wax and polish it a few hundred times.
