Default It's Here!

My new car arrived at the dealership yesterday and I hope to take delivery of it Monday! I will immediately take it to get Xpel installed and then weather permitting it will be in my garage Wednesday or Thursday. Very excited!

First pictures! The "boys" are cleaning it up for a Monday delivery! They gave me the window sticker as a "souvenir"!

There's a problem in the bold section above. Get yer butt over there and pick it up NOW. This would be the longest weekend ever if I was you.

Congrats.

I hear ya! Part of the delay is due to the weather and part is due to me having a Xpel application scheduled for Monday a another location! They are going to keep it out of harms way, off the showroom until Monday morning! The dealership has 5 C7's on the showroom as it is now! Three of those are customer cars that are waiting until better weather to be driven off by their happy owners! I feel blessed that I won't have to wait much longer!

BTW, I am 6'4" tall and fit in it perfectly with headroom to spare! I know body proportion is the key and I feel fortunate my legs are longer than my torso! Plus I'm skinny!
