Okay, who's assigning shifts for posting messages all night to keep toolking going?

BTW, congratulations! Great color. I've only seen them in pics, but that color really looks good in those pics.

I was going to suggest some babes... but then I saw your post about the wife... so I guess that is out of the question...

Wine, beer, NyQuil?

BTW, great choice of color What are the specs? Interior color?

Interior is Steel Grey, 6 Sp, 1SB, XM, painted wheels. Will most likely put the larger anti sway bars on it this Spring and let the wheel deal sort itself out in the coming months.

Also plan to add the Sub to the audio system that TedG did.

It's a touring car for the wife and I so nothing wild.

Congratulations. The wait is almost over.

I just got back from the Auto Show downtown DC. It was really tough walking around, looking at cars, knowing I had the most exciting one waiting out at the curb

I guess you are skipping work tomorrow. You ain't going to get nothing done.
Corvette Fever is the cause for many sleepless nites. No cure.
