Default Hello

Just a quick note to say hello and introduce myself.

I'm Steven and I live in the Atlanta area.

I've been a fan of corvettes since I was a kid, about 90% of the platic model kits I built as a child were corvettes.

I've had a few cool cars over the years, a 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, a 1999 Mustang GT, and a 2005 Honda S2000.

I also have a 1967 Mercury Cougar, but it is not on the road right now.

I just ordered my first vette, expecting to pick it up at the musuem late June or early July. I have until Monday to make any changes to the order, but currently it is:
2LT manual non-Z51
Crystal Red Tintcoat
Kalahari interior
performance exhaust
NAV

I'm struggling on finalizing the interior choice. I really like the Brownstone color, but am not excited about the microfiber armrests/console. Have to decide for sure by Monday whether to stick with 2LT Kalahari or switch to 3LT Brownstone.

Congrats on the new C7, and I have a '70 Mustang in a long restoration that is not on the road either. You'll have to post pictures of your new Stingray!

Here are some pictures of the '67 Cougar. I'd love to see your '70 Mustang if you have some pictures.
