Default Order Accepted

Today is a very good Friday for me.

My order moved to 3000 today, no TPW yet, but hoping that won't be far away.

It's a Cyber Grey Brownstone Coupe with Z51, MRC and Red calipers. I am pretty excited, but apprehensive about the wait as well. This is my 6 Corvette, I have now had one of every generation except the C4, and this is the first car of any type that I have ordered. Something on the lot or private owner used has always worked in the past.

So can anyone tell me how did you sleep while waiting for the build and delivery?

I play a lot of Gran Turismo 6 and re-watch just about every C7 review I can.
2 weeks away from picking it up and 4th time through the manual and how to videos

I ordered mine in mid July and it was delivered November 12. It is a Z51 so I was on constraint but my dealer had allocation and they are good on the sales side. Because it took a while I got to the point where I figured it will get here when it gets here. It arrived about a week later.

Relax. It is better in every way than the C6. You'll enjoy the heck out of it.

Ambien--only way once TPW is received.

Or 4 weeks in Bali on a beach--your choice.

I wish I was in your shoes...I am still stuck at 1100...

At 51 this is my 27th car (yes I have a list...) and my C7 will be my first new car. Still I sleep very well but I keep having the same dream over and over...

I am my new C7 and on main street every body is just over my new car. All the while I remain . I stop at a local pub for a or two. After a while I decide to get back in my At the first light there is this stang looking for . I just thinking are you ... i give him the mandastory , punch it and he fast dissapears in my rearview mirror....then I wake up...

Think I need help...or my car...soon....

Thank you all for your responses, some great ideas here, and I think the Beach at Bali gets my vote.

But since I still need to work I'll suck it up and go read the owners manual some more.

Anticipation - a good thing, but only in retrospect.
