Default Houston! I got a problem.....

Ordered my 06 vert 6 months ago, and was built last week! I am picking it up Friday at the plant... Long wait, but finally made it... I had to change from z51 to f55 ride... Ok here is the problem, I also ordered a z06 last month, with the guys telling me that they may have allocation in the next month.. They are selling at MSRP... So what the hell, 500.00 deposit and may get a z06 withing 5 months... The guy just called me... A black z06 is in the showroom, and the people that ordered it, can't afford and passed! MSRP and will have it delevered tomorrow.. Sounds great, but need to sell something....
Over 6 months of waiting and maybe 4 more, and they show up in the same week... I am not that rich, but cannot pass on the z06.. I did get the vert at gms, so might be up for sale at good price....
