It's here!
All,
I picked up my new LMB coupe on Friday. Meant to post sooner but have been having too much fun this wkend! 200 miles on her so far and I'm LOVING this car! The wife is even taking to it. Let her drive for a little bit and she squealed the tires leaving a stoplight! When I looked over at her she said, "Oh, that was fun!". Hope she's good at crying her way out of tickets
Here are the pics:

If you wander far enough into the pictures you'll see a bunch of wrapped presents on the fireplace. Like many of you, while I was waiting for my car I started ordering mods (window valet, top flight front license plate holder w/ F&R body colored holders, exoticvette partition, sun shade, pipedream's colored flag wheel decals, V1 mirror mount, pipedream's splash guards, zaino kit) and my wife decided to wrap all of the car's "presents" so then on Saturday we had a little baby shower. My wife thinks I'm nuts but I love her for indulging my craziness.
Also, if you notice the Vette in the driveway and the Jeep in the garage - that's not the storage order! I promised my wife I would detail the Jeep before I spent all my time on the Vette. I wasn't expecting the Vette until today so I thought I had all wkend to do the Jeep.
I also want to thank Boardwalk Chevrolet in San Mateo, CA. They're a forum dealer now! They treated me very well and kept me informed during my order process. They also have a number of Vettes in stock. I've not had service done on my Vette of course but they're also a Jeep dealer and they've done fine work on my Jeep.
So for all of you left-coasters that want to deal with someone closer - definitely check them out. Contact info under "Buy a Vette" above.
Ok, enough babbling. I'm off to work in my new Vette!

Congratulations....great looking car. I have been talking to Tim at Boardwalk Chevrolet about a LMB/Ebony 3LT MN6 Z51 on their lot, even though I live in SoCal. It has everything I want, except Nav. Tim seems great on the phone, even quoted me a killer price right away.
Congrats
