Good Timing
Got the call from MacMulkin yesterday that my 3LT, mag ride, Z51, front lift HTC is at the dealership. Ordered more than a year ago, but timing good because yesterday was my birthday. Now I have to get it trucked to New Mexico!

Your car should REALLY stand out on the plaza. Do some pics (PLEASE) with your car there when you get it! What color, BTW?

It was supposed to be a museum delivery, but that program was on constraint because of capacity when the order went through. MacMulkin was unable to contact the Santa Fe dealership where I have my car serviced before the order had to be finalized (in March). At the time New Mexico had closed car dealerships (non-essential business) because of Covid-19 and some dealerships did not answer their phone very well - hence it’s in Nashua. Oh well, if this is the worst thing that happens to me, I count myself lucky.

Zeus bronze with black wheels. Have not seen a C8 "in the flesh" yet, and a little nervous about the color choice. (My C7 is green, which still gets compliments in this part of the country.)

Enjoy the new ride. COVID can't last forever.

I have seen Zeus bronze and I can say without hesitation the internet does not do this color justice. It looks really good.
