Finally!
Greetings everyone!
Finally made it to retirement and ordered my first Corvette 2 weeks ago.
Looking forward to keeping up to date with the wonderful people and information on this great forum.
Nice meeting you all!

My dealer here in Lexington Tennessee said 90 days with the potential of being a little less. The order was put in on February the 12th.
They say all good things come to those who wait and in this case it's going to be worth it.
I just want to say thank you again for all the warm welcomes from everybody!

Yes, thank you very much.
I cannot say that I have met a finer bunch of people than in this forum.
Received word yesterday that we're at event code 3000 at the plant. So things are moving along nicely. 👌
Hope everyone is having a fantastic day and I'll keep you posted 👍
