I just accepted an offer on my 2011 Grand Sport today. Since there was no way I was going to let it go to the dealer for what they offered for a trade in, I had to go with a private sale to make the Z06 a reality. That's done! I'm going to be really sad to see my car go, I've put a lot of love into that car, but the Z will make up for it I'm sure. Now, all I need is an available allocation with my dealer. The prelim order is in with a deposit. Come on GM - get those A8 Convertibles rolling through the line. Mamma's gonna be vetteless by the end of this week. Y
eah, I know, I'm not going to see a new car before spring, I'm cool with that. I'll borrow our Miata autocross car if I need wind in my hair before it arrives - I'll survive a few months if I HAVE to! :-)
