Default Hello from Georgetown, CA
I got a great phone call today, from the Corvette Museum. Turns out I won their raffle today for the 2017 Grand Sport Collectors Edition! So I thought it would be good to join this forum and learn more about this car before I take delivery! Not sure I'll be able to sleep until then!

What a day!

Posted the wrong camera view. Switch to Delivery 9, it's currently there, the one on the left. They had two in there at the same time!

Hello Georgetown from a neighbor. I'm halfway between Lotus and Hwy 50. I'll be looking out for you. If you see an orange convertible cruising in the area, that's probably me.
