Default FINALLY! GS has been ordered!

Thanks everyone for providing insight and helpful tips on my other thread "I went to by a C7 and now want a GS!" Well, I placed my order today for an Artic White, black interior, black wheels, carbon flash badges, coupe, M7.

If all goes well, I should have the car within the first week of November.

After being a lurker on this website for several years and always reluctant to pull the trigger.... finally did it! As my kids say, "YOLO!" You Only Live Once.....

I look forward to being part of the corvette family!

I think my vette will be a beauty.... not bad for a first time vette owner! I will post pics in the near future!
