1st Vette

Hey, Bob, enjoy the ride. I, too, had lusted after a Vette since the '60s, ordered and got my first one last year (Black/Cashmere/MN6 and all the toys). Just drove it to work today...made going to work fun. You'll love the car and you'll learn to adapt to one eye. As another two writers said, you'll learn to compensate for the monocular vision and you'll be glad it wasn't your right foot.
Enjoy the ride.

I'm dealing with a reputable, small dealer. He says his allocation is 5 a year and this is the 3rd he's ordered. He says he has no January allotment but should be able to order it in February for an April or May delivery. Everything sound OK there? I didn't order Z51 and I'd like to have chrome wheels but I'm open on the wheels. The only other options are power top and Nav.
One other thing, I lost my right eye a couple of months ago. It made me think hard about buying a corvette, whether I could get the driving enjoyment I'm looking for or if I would wind up being an overly cautious driver. Any thoughts from other one eyed corvette owners?
