Back in the Vette!
Really excited to be getting back in a Vette starting tomorrow. I got lucky and found a reasonable deal (+4K over MSRP) for a 2023 Torch Red 2LT with performance exhaust and GT2 seats. Pick it up in Houston tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, picked it up in Houston around 1:00 PM and drove it home tonight. 675 mile round trip. I am tired!
jareth1819 - the dealer I got it from was Sterling McCall in Houston, Brent Treybig. I got the last one. I called probably 50-60 dealers on Thursday and Friday, all over the country. There is a nice HyperSonic Grey available in Buford, Georgia, Rick Hendrick Chevrolet. It's a 1LT convertible. Almost bought it, but I wanted a 2LT. Talk to Joe Mariscal. Asking 89K.
Like I said, I called 50+ dealers and was surprised that I found probably 10 Vettes available.....lots of Arctic Whites. Don't know if it's not a popular color or just a large number of orders. So, for those of you waiting on long Wait Lists, just start going thru all the dealers. You might be surprised, I was.
