Default New vett order

Could not resist the rebates and ordered a Grand Sport Coupe, now just have to wait the 8 to 10 weeks or maybe 12 with the special order of the Z06's. Anyways just wanted to share and can't wait to get it. Something to look forward to through these could winters in Michigan, my last one. Retiring this spring and heading to warmer settings.

Details (colors, options) please. Is this your first Corvette? While you're waiting, how about filling out your forum profile so we can learn a little about you?

Sorry, 2011 Grand Sport Coupe 3lt, F55,auto,NPP,ebony xstitched seats,battery protection, chrome wheels. I think that is it, order is done to be place on the 12th stilling trying to decide if I want Nav. or not thats about it. Oh yeah, and Museum Delivery.

Heading south or southwest not sure yet. We have a 40' 5th wheel going to travel until we find a place we like probably settle again 3 or 4 years. Be back in Mich. in the summers to drive the vett. though. Wife retires in March and I go in July both under 50 so lots of time to play. Last vett was 25 years ago 1975 coupe.

John:

Congrats on the new Vette order. You sound a lot like me. Last Vette owned was a 1977 back when I was 21 yoa. I worked a number of years and finally retired at age 49 and ordered my 2009 nearly 2 years ago and have loved every mile I've put on it since taking delivery spring of 2009.

ENJOY, your retirement and new Vette.

George

Congratulations. If your order is not been placed yet you might want the photo album of your car being built, the album is awsome, it costs $500. Call LORI at the Corvette Museum with the dealers order code. My wife and I ordered a 2011 GS in November and ordered the photo Album thereafter. You will be thrilled to have to document your Corvette. JAY
