Default I'm speechless...

...ummm...hmmmm......

http://z5onederful.shutterfly.com

better pics later

6 miles when I got her, 56 so far.Grinning the whole time.

One small problem, car isn't registered. Leasecompare.com/ACS screwed up, took my money for registration, and then did not register the car, and were of course closed today.

If not for Sunnyvale stepping up to help (lent me dealer plate) I would not even have the car now.

Just to make this very clear, Sunnyvale, Kelly Steele, and the Vettenet guys have done nothing wrong and have been great. This is a mixup/issue with ACS through leasecompare, and I'm sure it will be fixed monday.

And in the mean time I'm just trying to find out how I ever lived before without a V8. This thing is a BEAST hiding in a tux.

Most fun you can have with your clothes on.

...and sometimes your mind wonders a bit, and boom, you are driving the batmobile, man what a car.

Only issue so far is while going staight, steering wheel is at 11 instead of 12. But it seems from what I've been reading that it's wise to get the cars alignment done again after delivery anyway, so that can get fixed then.

Thanks to ALL for the great info while I have learked here.

Thank you to the Vettenet for finding me a Z51 SO fast.

...hehe..I have a corvette

Congrats to you! I'm glad your wait is finally over.

I sent a little envelope to Michael Holm to give you. Did you get it?
