Pulled the Trigger!
51 years young and buying my first Vette - Wohoo! Made the decision to buy an '08 Vette last fall but with winter coming, I decided to wait for spring delivery. Its been a long wait, but I'm glad I took the time in this forum to read about and mull over the different options, colors, mods. Changed my mind several times along the way. Finally went with CRM coupe, MN6, 3LT, F55, cashmere/ebony 2 tone. Already contemplating mods - wheels, exhaust, powder coated calipers, mats...where does it end? Doing Museum delivery in March. Should be a fun experience, and its only a 6-7 hour drive. And I'll get the break-in overwith. Hopefully weather will be Corvette-friendly by then. Ordered from Rick "Corvette" Conti at EVS. What a deal, and so easy a caveman could do it!
