Default Ordered a C6 today....

Hello all,

After years of wanting a Corvette my dream will soon become a reality, yesterday I ordered a 2008 coupe, crystal red with the two tone cashmere interior,2LT, 6M, F55, forged wheels, and transparent top.

I can't keep the smile off my face, now the waiting game

If anyone out there has some pictures of that combo please send them along. mbrady38@comcast.net

I look forward to being part of the community here.

Thanks.

Mike

Ok, first off, welcome! Good choice. Second, maybe there's already been a pic of that interior/exterior combo. Best way to find out is do a search up on the top bar near log out. Third, no one will ding you now since you just joined up but eventually, it will be "never heard of a LT2 engine". We both know it's a 2LT interior package. Just a hint to do it next time (or you can even edit your post right here!).

And last, did I say welcome! Good luck with it.

Thanks for the kind welcome and good advice!! It looks like it will take about 6 weeks before I take delivery but living in the Chicago area it more than likely won't see much road till the spring........

Again, thanks for the welcome

Mike

Hey, thanks for posting that link. That is my car in the first set of pictures! What an honor to have a fellow forum member think my pictures (and the car I purchased) were good enough to pass along to others. Thanks!

Default Welcome to the Corvette family

Congratulations on ordering your new Corvette! I know what you will be dreaming all day and night long about your new Vette. Waiting is the hard part. When you get your new Vette, enjoy the thrills, fun and excitement. Drive your Vette as often as possible, laugh and sing …I do, and I smile all the time. I never get enough Vette time. I wish you great pleasure with your new Corvette.
