Default Hello from Massachusetts!

Hello everyone, Bob here and just looking forward to filling my brain with as much knowledge as possible on the C8.
Just placed my order with my dealer last Sat July 8th,2023 for a 2023 but will end up as a 2024 I would think.1LT Stingray, Arctic White with Black interior, Performance Exhaust, Black painted 5 spoke wheels, and the Magnetic Selective Ride control, Low profile front and rear spoiler. Doesn't sound like much but this being my first ever Vette at age 67 will be more than enough for me to handle. They had a similar car at the dealers that I did get to test drive which was the first time ever driving a Vette! Man I was blown away. My whole life I have always wanted a Vette and by next summer I hope to have fulfilled my dreams. A word on my dealer, I got the car for MSRP with no mark ups. Better not be as I have bought my last 3 cars there in the last 10 years. So the waiting game starts. Well I'll be busy here getting my info and if anyone has any suggestions or comments please feel free to add a post. TTYL
