Default My delivery

Here is some photo of RC8 delivery.
I ordered the car from Mike Firman.
What to say about this man that hasn't been said !! He is a real Pro !!! This is by far the best experience I have to date with a dealer !!!!!!
By the way I'll add some inside photo , because I have to say that the NRB pops with the 3lt Kalahari.

First time that I have seen Furman spelled Firman...... But, hey, I kinda like it.

I was getting tired of seeing that Furman name anyway, with all of his perfect sales experiences and awesome delivery threads.

So, looks like we have a new Sheriff in town now...... Mike Firman. He only has 3,099 Corvettes to be sold/delivered to catch up with Mike Furman.

Love your choice of NRB, BTW. "Mr. T" has one (2013 C6 NRB GS Vert) as well on Cape Cod, and he bought his from......you guessed it, Mike Furman.

Would love to see the Kalahari interior, especially with the doors and hatch lid open!!! "Mr. T" would appreciate it as well, as he is planning on ordering a C7 from...... you guessed it, Mike Furman.

Elegant color combo. Glad you had a good museum delivery
I need to give Lori or Shane a call... I guess they forgot to include a kid with my R8C

I think that's fantastic, congrats! I sometimes view the museum deliveries online. I would have loved doing that but it was just not practical for me. Enjoy that great looking car!

Default Eric, need your help

Wow. Sounds like a great color combo.

If you could take a minute, I could use some assistance. This thread explains the issue:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...rong-part.html

I'm hoping that, having received a recently manufactured Z51, you could shed some light on the current air dam configuration. (A photo would be especially helpful so I could show it to the dealer) Thanks.
