Welcome to the forum.

A pic of your new Vette would be appropriate.

My first Vette was a 67 white convertible.

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C6!
It sure looks lonely sitting outside the dealership all by itself.

She made it home safely. Upgrades have begun. I have some paint repair to do on the nose, (not what you see, that's a reflection) so I am putting LED headlight assemblies in at that time.
