Congratulations!

Remember, we must see pics when you get it.

This will probably be my exact build, except, I'm getting M7.

I will have to exercise some self control, it will be hard. At least with a VIN I can start the insurance process.

I trade a 2012 Chevy Sonic in on the C7. My full coverage insurance only went up $15 every 6 months. I checked twice. Geico is great.
When were you at mother Rucker? 1969 for me.

I didn't get to Rucker until 1976. I had been in since 1970 and decided flying sure beat walking or riding in the back of a M113. I'll give Geico a try. Thanks.
