#9 at my dealer, one of the top 50 in the country. All good. And reliable. MSRP. No bluffing.

What do you mean by "on this"?

I plan on getting a Z06 probably in a few years so I'm not sure where I would fit in your question.

I just swung into the first car dealer I saw when driving because I had to hit the litterbox. 30 minutes later I walked out up a C8 and minus a Baby Ruth.

None of us are in line, remember your last thread that was closed in five minutes, you brought to our attention it's not going to be fast so we've all cancelled our orders.

I had my deposit returned after finding out the car didn't come with foam dice hanging off the rear view mirror.
