Default My new GS

I ordered a new Grand Sport for the wife and it finally came in. I will miss my Stingray as its been one of the best cars I have ever owned. The GS is at Les Stanford in Michigan awaiting installation of the splitter and side skirts. Then I ship it to AZ.
Goran was my salesman again and I highly recommend him. I forgot I ordered it with the carbon flash on the hood and I just ordered full dual racing stripes from Vettestripes so it will pain me to peel off this $500 carbon flash to install the stripes. Oh well, when it gets to my shop I will lower it and tint it and install the stripes.

Congratulations!

Will they ship the car in the winter?

Getting a Corvette onto a transport in Michigan with the snow and cold could be a challenge.

Yep, I'll find out Monday. 3 years ago when they shipped my Stingray it was a bitch to get it home.

$500 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, so I would recommend your not letting it diminish the pleasure of receiving your new C7 one bit.
You and wife enjoy

Congrats to you and your wife!! Les is near where I was born. I almost bought from him but our vendor friends in NH managed to beat his deal. If you can, I'd recommend driving it home. I had mine shipped and it's the only ownership regret that I have after two years.
