Default Going Nuts.

I've been Vetteless now for over 3 years since I sold my 2002 Coupe.

This situation changes at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow when I pick up an '08, Victory Red, MN6, Coupe with NPP. I am so excited that I can barely think straight, wish I could just go get it now. I even ordered a Mild2Wild controller today before getting the car. Feeling like a little kid on Christmas Eve.

Congratulations on the '08. You made a wise choice. (I also have a VR '08, manual trans, NNP exhaust, chrome wheels, M2W, Stratmosphere mats). You're gonna love it!

Tomorrow the fun begins.

Your comment about Christmas Eve, reminds me of Ralphie from the movie "A Christmas Story" and his quest for a Red Ryder BB gun. At least your new Vette shouldn't (well...at least it's very unlikely) put your eye out!

Enjoy...welcome back!

Lots has changed since '02 - be careful and get to know your car before you try to see what she's really capable of doing. Congrats on the new and improved ride

Thanks Guys, Really appreciate all the responses. I'm going to take it easy for a while and get a good feel for the car. A good wax job is on the schedule for tomorrow, then a long ride and some pics to post on the forum.
