Now that is awesome Lee. So now you're in Cvc getting your mission plan from your SDO. Before you know it you'll be on the flight deck doing a walk around and shakin' the pods. You know what comes next. Three fingers in the air and a hand on the deck and you're off. It won't be long now. We're gonna need lots of pictures so bone up on your photo posting skills now.

My Chevy/Caddy dealer is placing an order this week for an 07 coupe just the way I like it. Blk/ebony, 3LT, F55, chrome wheels, transparent top and auto transmission. Said it would take 8 weeks.

Great news about so many "newborns" Mine will be delivered to Boardwalk Chevy in N. California, by the way Carl and Tim are great guys to work with and accepted my GMID number, and I plan on driving back to Arizona down PCH 1. Stopping by WCC for some new wheels. I will send pics as soon as I figure out how to do it.

You will really love your C6. A real performance vehicle that gives you just what you ask of it, and it has plenty to give.

Lee,

Pictures are easy. Since I'm going to insist on seeing photos of the new ride I should help you develop the skillset to do it. Check out this thread with a great tutorial on using photobucket.com to host pictures. It's free and pretty painless. I use it to host even for photos on my website. You might head over to

www.photobucket.com and sign up first.

Here's a thread from the help section on signing up for photobucket:

Then go here:

Which is in the help section:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31

And after you finish all of that, just go here to the testing section where you can try your new skills:

Thanks Paul,

I will need all the help I can get!! I usually get my kids to do this sort of thing. But I will eventually have to venture out on my own!!

Now all I need is a car to take pictures of.
