Default Finally pulled the trigger

Finally pulled the trigger and bought my retirement gift to myself. 2019 GS, 2LT, Watkings Glen Grey w/ Grey interior. Funny thing is, I wasn't even considering a Grand Sport, nor WGG. Even more ironic, I'm on a business trip out of state, but will figure how to get the truck home later. All my other vehicles are black and was looking for a Black Stingray. Having had one in the past, I know how good they can look, but also know how hard they are to keep clean, and living out in the country doesn't help either. I had some time to kill on Monday, so pulled into the dealership, just out of curiosity and the WGG Grand Sport was sitting next to a black stingray. So was able to see the two side by side and the Grand Sport won. Was even more impressed once they pulled the car out into the sun, then the paint really popped and we made the deal. Bought the car on Wednesday, and knowing that they would be announcing the new colors on Thursday, was really hoping that I wouldn't be kicking myself when they did. Saw the new colors, and nothing wrong with them, they were nothing that would have preventing me from buying this one. Since I was never even considering a Grand Sport, I have alot of research to do. All I can say is it's going to be a long drive home, at least until I hit the 500 mile mark!

As an owner of a Watkins Glen grey over grey 2018 GS 2LT, it is (IMO) indeed a sweet ride. Congratulations!
