Thanks to everyone! When it goes on the truck, which is any day now, it will take 10 to 12 days to get to me. I'll have my inspection list ready.

No mocking here just great choice! Chrome wheels are the best for appearance!

Ha! I just talked to him about that yesterday. He's going to do that. It should be on one of his videos next week. He called me yesterday to let me know the trucker is going to pick it up mid week. And the journey begins. I can't wait to get it so I can test how strong the floor boards under the gas pedal are!

Good news! Rick Conti just texted me and as I type this the car is being loaded onto the carrier. Hip Hip Hooray! He is going to post the pat in the *** probably Sunday with his usual Sunday Coffee with Conit Vlog. Ten to twelve day delivery time. That's going to be a long wait my friends.

Joe,

How many (hopefully trouble free) miles did you put on your previous C7?

I was having fun with that. I always get what I want. Not what others like, but with wheels I'm agnostic. I like black, silver, and chrome. With this particular Torch Red I think all three work with it. And with the pricing on the car I was good. The only thing I had to have on the Z06 this time was Torch Red, I could get by with the rest of the stuff. Automatic or stick? Either one works for me.

122,000 so far. Only issue was a belt tensioner pulley replacement at 30K miles or so. Best car I ever have owned.
And I still have it. Going to keep it, give it to my grandson, or I could decide to sell it. Not worth much with that many miles, but the car looks pretty much new inside and out. I have a triple garage. Storage won't be an issue. The single bay is 48 ft deep.

Unbelievable! I just got a call from the truck driver. Delivering 10 AM tomorrow morning! 2000 miles and just loaded last evening. I'll take videos and pictures of the unloading and the car! Super Corvette Sunday. What a country. I'm an eager boy.....
