Default Just Got the Call...

Just received the call from my dealer that my vehicle has arrived and I just scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Torch Red Z51, 3LT Adrenaline Red interior, MSRC, NPP, black wheels, red calipers...my salesperson (great guy) seemed as excited as I was about the delivery. Definitely the most cool car purchase I have ever done. Being from Michigan, love to have purchased America's premier sports car.


Thank you to all for the great advice and threads, lots of fun along the way. I will post some pictures when I take delivery tomorrow afternoon. Hope I can sleep tonight!!

Currently at O'Hare flying back home to DTW after a great week at work in Chicago. This makes my whole week!!

Where is DTW? If it's DFW, I ordered mine from Cooley Chevrolet in Irving. I was just curious who you ordered through.

Big time congrats. Enjoy.

"DTW" is Detroit, last I heard, from airline/airport stickers, and Windsor Ontario is right across bridge.

I don't see a sticker on the driver's side door. Anywhere else you might find the gross weight?
