Can't Sleep Because................
This is one of my last posts as a non-corvette owner! I am picked up a 2008 JSB 2LT Z51, NPP, MN6 with 3800 miles. Sealed the deal today. She comes home Monday! Hence the post at 2:30 AM. I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking of this car. I am too excited. BTW - This will be my first Vette.

Congratulations. You're going to love it.
While you're waiting, read the Owners Manual.
You can find a copy in the Sticky Section at the top of the General Forum page.
In fact, read it a couple times. It will significantly reduce your anxiety when you discover one of the cars many 'quirks'.

I have been looking/testing the waters and educating myself since March. Really hit hard starting Mid June and almost bought 2 different 2005's. Glad those didn't work out and that I was able to get into an '08 with the LS3. I am so psyched.
My 5 year old son told me when he gets his vette it will be red but he JSB is real nice for you dad!

I know the feeling. I took the plunge in 2009 with my 1st vette. It was tough to sleep before getting it home. I drove home in 22 hrs. Best drive home ever. Whenever I stopped at a rest stop, I couldn't resist looking back as I was walking away. 
Congrats

Congrats, we all have felt the same way! Jetstream Blue is my second favorite color and almost bought one in Delaware before I found a local VR Z. Post pics when you can.
