Default My first corvette !!

Yesterday I just ordered my first corvette ! Now the long waiting period begins. Kerbeck Chevy in Atlantic City said it should take about 3-4 months. I held off on ordering because I really wanted to see one in person. I have seen so many pictures online but nothing like seeing it in person. Kerbeck Chevy had about 15 of them there all sold. But it was great to see all the colors and options. I did hear and read that some dealerships were charging 5-10k above MSRP, not the case down in Kerbeck. The entire corvette sales staff were great. It was really awesome to see some of the people who ordered there cars back in June picking them up while I was ordering mine. Tic Toc.. It's gonna be like watching paint dry.

Congrats! Half the fun is the anticipation and excitement of getting your car. The other half is the experience of owning and driving it. Looking out your window for the first time and seeing a vette in your driveway compared to an average car is indescribable. Appreciate each moment and post pics when you get it.

I did the same thing, DJ. I won't take delivery on mine until April 2014 (because of the Kansas City snow/Winter).

This is my first Corvette too. I ordered mine one week ago today. I wish Winter wasn't coming. I'd like to get this thing ASAP. I was able to drive a Z51 C7.....WOW!
