Default Finally!!!
After an almost 7 month wait and having to settle for a transparent roof to ensure getting my '15 C7, it has finally arrived at my dealer. The salesman allowed me a sneak peek yesterday. Yay! I even got to start her up

Once prepped and plated, I will wait for a good weather day and get her home to my garage. It is cold and snowy in my part of Canada.

Perma-Grin. I love it! That just about sums it up too.

Thanks everyone for the congrats and pats on the back. It is -22 degrees C this morning where I live. A tad fresh for sure. But it is proof positive that the General delivers Corvettes in the winter months.

Thanks again!!

Doug

That's one heck of a long wait, but congrats and enjoy the car. Hope the weather clears up soon so you can get the car home.

Congrats on your new (export) C-7. When you get your vet home looks like you will have plenty of time to do a little detailing or a mod or two.

Congratulations Doug,

I know that -22C is without the wind chill factor of -30C, but I hope you have some dry roads you can use to get the car home.

Enjoy!
