Default order placed!

Well I did it. Just a few minutes ago. Ordered a 1SA White with red interior, six speed, Z51. Delivery not until May though. I went back and forth between the white and the DSO all morning. The thing that put me over the top was the red interior. Now the days will turn into months.


I dreamed about owning a Vette since I was 15 (I'm 47 now) and now I am worried to death about if I made the right decision. I've been climbing into a P/U truck every day since 1980. Just getting in and out of the Vette will be a challenge for a old overweight guy like me!

Default Congrats!

Way to go! I'm about to make the plunge too. I can't decide if I should get the LeMans Blue or the DSOM. My last car was a metalic blue. Had it for 8 years. Love the color but a change may be needed.

Now the wait begins for you. Remember the ol catsup ad with Carly Simon playing "Anticipation"? Kind fits don't you think?!!

Now you can throw away the Viagra. You will however have to find a way to erase the permanent smile from your face .

My first two new Corvettes were white, I think it shows best, really stands out at night. Just ordered a C6, went for Victory Red this time. But I sure am a White Corvette Guy. Best of Luck

That was the only way I could get the car at $1500.00 over invoice. The dealer said they are too hot right now to get much of anything off sticker. Right now he is selling all he can get at sticker.


Thanks,
Jerry
