That's great!!!!! I'll look forward to seeing them....

I just got back from doing the paperwork and they had a gorgeous black C7 at the dealer. If mine looks half as good, I'll be happy...

Thanks very much!

Mike

I wonder if he think those ropes are there to keep the car from escaping? I takes all kinds, I guess...

I might add that all of the other visitors behaved in a rational manner, as you might expect
Congrats on your car!

I saw it in person this past Monday during my lunch at the Museum!
I can tell you that it is certainly one fine automobile!

Mine hasn't been made yet, but it too will rest a bit on the Blvd some day!

Good luck with yours...

All,

May or may not be able to post the pictures tonight. Gonna try to keep my mind off...see below. Unfortunately about 2hrs after leaving the Museum my '08 started acting up. I'm at our Cabin near Gatlinburg. I think I have a bad rear wheel bearing or something. This SUCKS.......

Wow sorry to hear about your car Rick. That is such a bummer. Thanks for the pic you sent me today. I really appreciate it!

Lets try this link folks.....

Don't have time to sort them but each of you should be able to tell which car is yours. There are several cars shown in the prep bay and even one of my wife stating that the Cyber Grey is her favorite...and I ought to get one.


The glare in the Museum is really bad. Hopefully some of the pics are to your liking. I'm not a professional photographer....I like my point and shoot. : )

Awesome! Thank you so much Rick! I really appreciate it. I feel like I'm standing there by my car. Hope you get your car issue fixed. Sorry that happened. Thanks again!

No problem. I'm more than irritated right now. Not a great way to start out a two week vacation especially considering that my ski vacation earlier this year ended up in an emergency appendectomy (while in Telluride) and neck surgery when I got home presumably from a skiing fall. Maybe I should just not go on vacation any more.

Anyhow, no problem. It was awesome seeing those cars. By the way I couldn't determine anything about the rear carpet. The carpet between the seats and the console is definitely some sort of grey.

Definitely not a good start to a vacation, hopefully it can be quickly and easily fixed and you can enjoy a nice long vacation. Thanks for the carpet update. From talking to people I have decided it is black in the back and light grey up front. I'll just have to see if it will look ok to get black mats and get use to trying to keep the carpet clean. Can't let that dampen getting one of these awesome cars. Enjoy your vacation and thanks again!

What is up with the museum. I thought the cars I saw on Wed were for Mon pickup. It appears every car is different. Are they doing more than 8 right now?

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Did they deliver some cars?
