Default My new '18 GS

I placed my 2018 GS order on 05.19, it was accepted a few days later, built on 06.12, and arrived at my dealer in MN Friday. I took delivery Saturday morning and absolutely love the Watkins Glenn Gray Metallic color. Coming from a '14 Z51 I thought the ride differences would be minor, but I was mistaken, this GS handles much better and seems to be on rails!

Special thanks to Suburban Chevrolet in Eden Prairie MN, and to their GM John Peifer for providing a special price, and for working hard to make my 2018 GS arrive in June, prior to the expiration of my 2014 Stingray license tabs.


Here are a few pics taken at the dealer today, more when the weather improves.

And of course a final pic of my 2014 which I had zero problems with.

Summer fun for somebody. Get to Ron Fellows as soon as you can. Sorry i waited 3/4 of a year as there were many things which would have helped knowing sooner. Go have some fun with that beauty.

the money.--Enjoy
