Default OK, I've got a problem

I'm totally hooked! Took the Z71 in for an oil change and spent an hour and half sitting in Vettes, looking at Vettes, smelling Vettes. Black ones, White ones, Yellow ones, Orange ones, Red ones. They even had a few verts. Now I'm not a vert guy, but the lines on a vert with the top down, OMG! They had a VR vert with a black top. Now I ordered a VR sight unseen and I have to tell you, and those that ordered VR, it is a great color, especially in the bright warm So Cal sun. Picked up the new brochure with the DVD. I now check this forum way too much, read all the literature on the Vette and will be doing a complete garage remodel for the Vette, I've got a problem, and I'll drink to that

Damn! I was afraid of that. Been waiting on the sports car, say 20 years and always figured it'd be a Porsche. But nooooooooo, I've got to hooked on the Vette, and I'm stoked. There's room in the garage for the Z51 right next to my Z71, go figure. Too bad the wife's 3.5 Altima has to sleep outside, I'll buy it a blanket

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Picking up your new Vette is the second step.........I haven't reached the third step yet......It hurts so good

I've got the same problem.

I am on the forum way too much. I play the promotional DVD twice a week. Pictures on my work PC screen saver and wallpaper. I call my salesmen too often. And get updates on my order from all the dealers here.

It is absolutely crazy. I haven't been this obsessed with something since a girl named Cheryl in the 7th grade.

You are preaching to the choir, we too have been hooked. This obsession is absolutely delightful.

I'll try, I'm hoping for a digi for X-Mas. We're off to Vegas for New Years so if I can't get them before we leave, I'll get them when I get back. All I can say bro is OMG, the VR is so much better than I thought it would be, real deep bright red with some slight orangish tones, not like any other GM product I've seen. And with the black top, sick. I've got to tell you that I never fancied the vert, but with that combo, my wife would look real good in it. And a MY vert with a black top, shazam!Things that make you go hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm
