Congrats Mike, from what I read and heard you definitely deserve it......question, why did you opt for the manual rather than the 8 auto?

Congrats on a beautiful ride! You know I love the color, but I have to agree, there are no BAD colors!

And if that golfing buddie also ordered a red Z06 from you, I may have met him last weekend down here in my neck of the woods. He stopped by my Vette to say what a nice ride!

I just happen to prefer having a Corvette with three pedals. I don't put on a lot of miles each yr so when I do...I enjoy shifting manually.

Will your 2014 LB trade in now be on the Criswell showroom floor?

If so, do you happen to know of a salesman there that knows the history of the car???!!!

Silly me........

Just watched the video of Bon Jovi signing "Wanted Dead or Alive".

From the song/video, as it applies here to Furman and Criswell:

"AND WE ROCKED THEM ALL".

Way to go Mike. You know I'm partial the one you got. Excellent choice. Reserve another set of tires and drive her hard. Congrats, you more than deserve this!!!

Congrats, Mike! It was really cool checking in on your build from time to time while it was on the line on November 13. It's absolutely beautiful! May you always drive her in good health!

Sure, that's it Mike. It had nothing to do with you wanting
to be one of the FIRST! Congrats, Mike!!

Congratulations Mike, you make a lot of people happy with their new vette deliveries, and it is truly wonderful for you to be able to experience that same joy.

The Dark Gray interior is really nice and yet a very subtle switch from the black to compliment the total look with the Laguna Blue. Well done.
