Default Pulled the trigger...

After literally years of Corvette contemplation, I placed an order today. My first Vette! I have loads of various feelings flowing right now. I look forward to hanging out here more and sharing all there is to share about the C7!

I am not so sure that waiting is half the fun, but it will surely keep your emotions high. And anxiety. And your other half, or friends wondering about your sanity. And the dealer wondering how to block your calls. and the customer service people tired of your posts...could you please check on order XXXXX, yesterday I was at 1100, where am I today. I am not sure that waiting is fun.
Anticipation. Carly Simon. From my youth.
Congratulations!
