Default It IS HERE!!!!!

My dealership called this afternoon to announce that my C6 metallic silver, power-top convertible with polished wheels and magnetic select ride with the 1SB package has arrived!! I will pick it up tomorrow at noon.

I placed the order with the dealer on 12/18/04. I was notified by Marvin on February 7th that my Status Event Code was 3000 with a TPW of 2/28/05. On February 15th I was up to 3100 and on February 21st the SEC was 3400. At 10:17am (Central Standard Time) this Monday Kevin sent me an email that informed me my Vette had already rolled off the line and was in the Care line for inspection. Yesterday the dealer called to say they had been invoiced but that the scheduled delivery date was still estimated to be March 18th. Needless-to-say, I was completely blown away by his call at noon.

It sounds like maybe the logjam has been broken on the power tops and polished wheels. I'll let you all know what "baby" looks like tomorrow!!!

Awesome. Sounds like a great car. You'll have to give us a report on the power top operation when you come back to earth...
