Finally ordered my GS
After 2 years of waiting, I finally ordered my first Vette, a 2LT EB M7 Grand Sport Coupe. We're targeting a March 29 museum delivery date. The next 66 days are going to be rough!

(mine is also a 2LT M7)

That's beautiful. I went with the black wheels, and the red calipers.

Smartest thing you did was get a manual, nice work.
2nd smartest thing, that color. I had a 2014 Z51 laguna blue metallic and it was by far my favorite color. This is close to it. I do like my current color GS but that blue is nice.
2LT, too many issues with 3LT. I hated the 3LT in my Z51, the dash turned into what looked like a 110 year old womens ***. And now my 2017 GS with 5k miles is already showing lines in the dash. Collector Edition only came in 3LT. I would have gone 2LT all day.

I have a road trip with three good friends planned from VA Beach to the museum and back, with a few side trips and detours, after we pick my car up. I'll be pulling into the museum in my friend's white 60th anniversary 427. I'm hoping for an early to mid March TPW, things started getting busy in the Spring after the first week of April. I didn't want to be driving it home before it warmed up some. Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate.
