I've posted something like this before on here, but ordering the car and going through the process is an exciting thing in itself. At least it was for me since the C7 was the first time I've ordered a new car.
It's kinda like planning and executing an elaborate vacation. You spec out your vacation, then you wait. The day comes to head to the airport and you got butterflies hoping that everything goes smoothly. I knew what day the car was gonna be at the dealer, the whole day felt like a week. It was mid afternoon and I was out raking my yard when I got the call to come get it. All the paperwork was done and I already owned the car, so all I had to do was pay for the courtesy delivery and drive it home. I was nervous as hell and even a little nauseous pulling up to the dealership. I could see the car from 1000 ft away sitting out front.
Anyway, sorry for the small book and congrats. 3400 is cool because your car is about to exist. Once it hits 3800, time slows down like you're a kid again. 3800 to delivery seems to take forever...
