Default NCM Delivery!

We picked up our GCM Z51 M7 vert yesterday at the NCM. We bought this car from Tim Boone at Boardwalk Chevrolet, which was a very pleasant and smooth experience. The whole delivery day was a fantastic experience, and we felt like royalty. The plant tour was excellent, and the attention that was given during the delivery to us by Dan was exceptional. And the car ... Well, it far exceeds our expectations. The paint is excellent (better than my BMW M Roadster), and the 3LT black leather interior is flawless. We put 300 miles on it that afternoon, and will be at about 3500 by the time we get home. It will pass 500 miles today, and I am looking forward to exploring the depths of that wonderful engine!

Again, to Tim at Boardwalk and Dan and the rest of the staff at the NCM, our thanks!




Chris

Beautiful car and congrats! I had a slightly shorter ride home to Chicago, but the whole museum delivery experience is once in a lifetime. Hope you were able to avoid those storms!

It was pretty rough the night before when we arrived in BG with lightning and hail, and a tornado warning, but we got almost 100 miles of top down driving on our first leg out of the NCM yesterday. We are in St. Louis right now, and the rain is back. Living in Seattle, this does not concern me much!

Congratulations, I took delivery on April 4th at the museum and had a great experience too. Also ordered my 07 from Tim when I lived in NorCal and agree he's great. Enjoy those 3500 miles, I put 940 on mine driving it home and loved every mile!
