Still Grinning
Well Kevin called last Friday and told me he had my vin. number. We scheduled my visit for today at 11:00am. Checked my voice mail at 7:00am and was told to get to the plant by 9:30am to spend more time with by new baby. Arrived at 9:30am, saw a safety video and we went into the plant. There she was, no wheels or front end. Followed it for almost 2 1/2 hours and holy smoke, drove it off the line at 12:05pm. God, I drove the car 20 feet at two miles per hour and fell in love! This has been a long wait, October 23, 2004 but it's almost over: DSOM Vert / Cashmere / Black Power Top / Z51 / 1SB / NAV / OnStar / Polished Wheels. I see if you take delivery by 03/31 there is a $1,000.00 rebate. Boy, the Miler Lites are flowing, I can hardly drink with the grin on my face.

off my face every time I see my car and my GRIN Is even bigger when I am driving! And, I have had my car for the past 6 months! It's good to be the "KING"
