Default Done Did It

Well, after many months of decisions, my wife and I ordered a C7!
After garnering intel here on the forum and reading numerous threads we have decided on Arctic White 2lt with black wheels. Going with the Kalahari interior. Lots of info was available here on the forum and after posting a couple of questions here we had plenty of guidance to help our decision making. Along with budget constants.
Want to thank every one who answered questions and to those who posted their experiences with the C7.
Got the car for supplier pricing with a local dealer who does have allocation. we are expecting to be picked up with in the next couple of weeks.
On a side note they have 8 Z06's allocated to them, all sold and 26 people on the list. I mentioned to my sales man that he could get some good PR for the dealership by sending the ones who won't get a Z to one of the larger forum dealers where their chances might be better. Then have it courtesy delivered.
He thought that might be a good idea...not a sale but maybe good for the service department.

Good timing. You'll get your new C-7 just in time to cruise the hill country when the blue bonnets begin to bloom. Congrats.

Fortunately, we’ve had enough rain that the flowers should be abundant. Don

Congrats, that's what I got and if it's not too late, get the CFM mirrors and spoilers too, trust me, it sets the AW off and it's only a couple hundred bucks more.
