Default It's finally

Back in November, I ordered a 2008 Corvette Coupe from the store I work for. Here's a few pictures of it's arrival at my store.

2008 Corvette 2LT
45U Velocity Yellow
193 Ebony Leather
GU2 2.73 Axle
QG7 5 spoke wheel
NPP Dual mode exhaust
C2L Roof package
MX0 6 speed Paddle Shift Automatic

About to start unloading!



















My wife taking it home



The car's MSRP was $54880, and I purchased it using the GMS price I receive for being a dealership employee which saves me $7780. My wife and I are very pleased with the car.

This is my first new car!


Finally had a pretty day out to shoot some pictures.....

The logo on the nose

Logo profile


Train bridge in background has been in several movies! Spans the Arkansas River.




Top out

My wife and I






Thanks for stopping by to check it out!

Enjoy-

~Brian
