I know someone is begging for spring weather.

They're non NNP, and I'm not sure if they can be brought closer together for form 4 equally spaced pipes, but I have written the dealer to ask.

Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Yes, and getting the car into my garage may be a small challenge. Snow should be mostly melted by next week, and I live very close to the dealership, but you can bet I'm not driving home in track mode

Yes, my choice, because of the weather...supposed to be 40 or so next week as opposed to the 15 degrees here right now.

I'm dealing with the cold and snow too. Spring should be here soon

Nice C7. What color interior?
Thanks, HAD2HAV2, very helpful, and I appreciate it. It has a black interior...I thought about red seats, but then I would have had to break out the white shoes and belt to complete the look!

Delivered to the dealer today with a build date of 2/24/15....delivery next Tuesday, 3/10/15, if the weather permits. BS-M7-red calipers, and that's it.

Congrats on the arrival of your baby. Hope the weather cooperates next week and you can pick the car up.

Thanks,

Rearranged the garage yesterday, and all set for Tuesday. Amazing how much stuff I have in the garage, and how much space there really is when I consolidate. Two motorcycles, two chairs, a bbq, two kerosene heaters, garbage cans, shop vac, tv, stereo...the list goes on and on.

Plenty of room now...

Snowing here again right now, but only about 2", and it is supposed to be around 40 on Tuesday...I have a short 6 miles or so to the dealer, and have a choice of surface streets or interstate for the drive home.

Just hope the delivery is short and sweet...don't need the two hour orientation version
