Congrats on your Corvette and hopefully it will be all and even more than you expect. Also hopefully you missed the bad storms tonight, we had a tornado just a few miles north of us, in Haslet tonight, pretty scary with the high winds and hail.

Thanks yes luckily the storms missed me. Although the vette is in the garage, my truck would have got hit.

I remember the real bad hail storm about 3-4 years ago my old car got killed in that.

Ride is safely in the garage, but we'll see tomorrow if there is any damage to the house/property.

Congratulations, you will love it!

Side note - since you are doing the white/black combo, tinted side markers from RPI designs look fantastic on the white cars to help cover up those ambers and reds! http://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=3165

When you’re feeling low and looking sad and things haven’t gone your way
When you’re lost somehow and feeling bad and it hasn’t been your day

Just walk out to the garage... look at your car and think - man this is mine!
Then open the door, sit right down and... believe me ....THINGS WILL BE FINE!!!
