Pulled Trigger: 2012 Vette - Torch Red - Ebony 6spd

Pulled Trigger: 2012 Vette - Torch Red - Ebony 6spd

Just put in order for 2012 1LT Torch Red / Ebony - 6spd from MacMulkin Chevy in NH with Tommy Jr. They come highly recommended by CF users and offered the best price.

I still have both magazine inserts for '84 C4 Corvette; came close to getting one in '96 (got '85 BMW 635csi

)...then again in '07 (held back

); each time I deferred...saved the money, went conservative

, or held back.

Now its happening; will be my city car, weekend car, and all round ride.

Thanks CF for all the advice and support to make the right move

Just got GM Workbench confirm: 1100 Prelim. Order Accepted

It was a long wait; but it will be sweet.

Congrats to you. I'm guessing that by 6-speed you mean manual.
You can't go wrong either way, but I really find the manuals to be the most fun.

Very nice! You do know that "All Corvettes Are Red" don't you? Just saying.

I wish I had done this years ago!
