Default Trigger pulled - 07 ordered

Well, I just got back from signing my life away and ordering my first brand new car. After a full week of comparing MS and LMB at the local dealership I finally figured out what I wanted. I found a dealership in Indy with a great offer and signed the paperwork today. Before I put pen to paper, I took a test drive in the A6, just to see what it was like and all I can say is it's different. It seemed very busy and I had to think about driving the car instead of just doing it like I do with my MN6 C5. Anyway, here's what I got:
- Machine Silver coupe
- 6 speed
- Z51
- Two tone interior (ebony/titainium)
- 3LT
- Comp grey wheels
- Two roof package
I'm pretty excited about it, but not looking forward to the approximately 6 week wait. At least I'll have plenty of time to plan my mods - most likely wheels and a H/C package.

Congrats and I think you will like your color choice, I just sold my LMB C5 and will be picking up my MS vert next week, LMB was great when clean but hard to keep that way!

Default Congratulations!

Personally I would have gone for the LMB... Actually, I did go with LMB! But every time I see the MS in the right light... boy it's sharp!!!

Congratulations... I hope you're more patient than I am... the wait is driving me

WooHoo! Welcome to the darkside. Congrats on the new purchase, now the pain of waiting comes in. As an aside for as awesome as the C5 is, I don't think you'll be sorry. The C6 is an incredible ride.

Default Congrats!

I see you live up in Noblesville, did you order from Hare Chev. That is where I got the best deal last year on my 06 C6. Sent out an email to all the local dealers, Hare came back with the best offer and had the car I wanted in stock.

Congrats,

I was down to those two colors and ended up making the same choice. Ordered mine Jan 21 and it was suppose to be built today. It's the same as yours except F55 with base wheels instead of Z51 and comp grey. I've ordered something for it about every week to help the time pass faster.
