Default It's on order!

I ordered a 2009 C6! I got it exactly the way I wanted! No compromise! It'll be pretty basic and low option to most but thats what I want! 2LT coupe. JetStream Blue. Cashmere interior. NPP exhaust. Automatic. Stock silver splitspokes. Body colored top.Everything I wanted, nothing more, nothing less! 6 weeks or less for delivery! Got it at GMS pricing, Grandpa retired from GM many years ago and I'm finally putting that perk to good use!

You're in trouble now! Here's what's going to happen:

1. Weeks one through four, you'll be happy with anticipating the arrival of your new C6. Everything is under control.

2. By week five, you'll start calling your salesman every day for updates. "No, you're not being a pain." is what he'll tell you. Privately, he's thinking, "What an A-Hole!"

3. A few days before, and into, your TPW, you'll be in an emotional frenzy and may require prescription drugs to function normally. Before bed, a shot of pre-delivery C6 elixir, also known as Jack Daniels, is recommended.

4. The build date arrives and your car gets built! You will run around telling everyone you see, including perfect strangers, the good news. Much to your chagrin, you find that no one really cares. In desperation, you turn to the forum for some compassion and camaraderie.

5. You now start the delivery countdown. How long will it take Allied to actually deliver my car? Shouldn't it take only one or two days? Why are they so slow? Why isn't my dealer on the phone with them every minute of every day tracking my car? What's wrong with these people?

6. The phone call! Your car is here! Run down to the dealer so you can see it, take some pictures, ask them to get it prepped ASAP. Tell them not to scratch it, don't let anyone sit in it, no fingerprints, be careful...please be careful!

7. It's ready, you drive it home, you show it to everyone and, finally, you can get a good night's sleep again.

8. That big, stupid grin persists for quite some time ... people will think you're a nerd or just weird. Who cares? Just enjoy the experience!

Good one Stan! That one should become a sticky.

To the OP.....Congratulations on the new order. I like the 2LT myself and it is wise to order the car exactly the way you want it. I actually enjoyed the anticipation during the wait for delivery.
