Default Oh Yea!

Hey Gang,

FINALLY!!!....my 2012 Grand Sport was delivered!....it was a long wait but definitely worth it!....

Tommy Jr. worked his magic again...for those who haven't bought from MacMulkin (Tommy Jr.) you are missing out on an experience. This guy was exchanging texts with me at 11:30PM...he never sleeps and follow-up on EVERYTHING...the transaction was smooth as silk...and his prices are unbeatable...and 0% financing!

OK, enough for the Tommy Commercial!...

Here's a description of the new Baby...

Grand Sport Coupe
Crystal Red Metallic
Ebony Interior with the flag embroidery
NPP
Auto
Clear Top
F55
Chrome Wheels
Full Spoiler
Navi

...she's a beaut! I really didn't think I'd see or feel much of a difference between my 2007 and the 2012...but I was wrong....the 2012 feels tighter, more refined and the F55 Mag ride is more distinctive (you can really feel the difference!)

The shift points are also quite different...downshift is VERY different!

I've already installed the M2W controller (I home brewed a wireless remote...cost about $25 for the parts!)...Window Valet, Bra, Corvette lettering on the rear...and today the exhaust panel goes on....the Navi replacement will wait for clearer weather.

C'mon sun!....
