Mike,
Thanks for having this thread up early as I'm heading out with the family in 30 minutes for a day trip and iwss starting to get a little anxious I'd have to sneak in some alone time somewhere along the way to get caught up lol. Thanks for getting me through the toughest (first world problem) decision I've had to make in a long time this week. What color Corvette to order lol...you got me through the interio quick... that wss easy as its identical to yours! But outside and the exterior itself. Complete opposite lol. To anyone reading this and on the fence about who to buy from, I can assure you that after a solid 30 plus cars and trucks over my life purchased new, if i could purchase every single vehicle from Mike Furman for the rest of time I would sign up for that in a heart beat... Not only a Corvette Sales Icon, but a friend. Never would I have thought I would travel 3.5hrs away to purchase a new Corvette especially given my geographical location being near so many other places that advertise how great they are. Meeting Mike in Carlisle in 2016 was all I needed (and reading these delivery threads) to know when I finally purchased as new Corvette I would be going through Mike. True story... my wife's mouth dropped when I said to Mike, "I'm going to purchase my first new Corvette from you..." and Mime replied, "it will happen..." 2 months later not only did i purchase my 2016 from Mike, but my buddy and I returned for his identical Z06 the following week just in a different color. I'm so grateful that you made the time for me knowing how busy you are especially right now..you helped me get through this (first time I've ever ordered a vehicle out of all those newly purchased) process so thoroughly, patiently, and you couldn't have been more insightful. This was a tough......tough week to get through having flip flopped on the exterior color 4 or 5 times. Then you finally know you have it right when you STOP visiting the Corvette build simulator and that was in great part due to your advice and recommendations. Who knows better than you? Nobody on thisnpalnet having seen so many order so many you're a walking encyclopedia on the subject. Cant wait to get down there in a month or so and pick up my second new Corvette from you Buddy! Enjoy that vacation...well deserved.. God Bless! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...ad968e9f93.jpg Favorite pic of the week. 20 years agi none of us could have omagined a factory built corvette would be that menacing... the 60s have nothing on what we are enjoying now. not the lottery but man it felt like I won something when I got this back.. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...52d45ba262.jpg |

That appraisal picture was 1990...fast forward to 2013 and a woman came in to test drive a new Traverse so we went on a ride and she wanted to see if the Traverse fit in her garage and show her husband. She said he has an old Corvette...we pull up the driveway and it's the very same 1958 Corvette in the garage that I had appraised back in 1990. I asked the husband if he was going to switch it back to a Fuelie? He said how did you know from 30 feet??? I just had to tell him the small world story. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...65448e39bc.jpg Mike Furman corvettefurman.com |
Morning Mike,
It is nice to hear there are many first time buyers buying C7s. Congratulations to the new owners this week. Have a great week and enjoy your vacation. I couldn't decide between these two so I will go with two this week.:hide: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...3a826ed10b.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...4d0fd7d420.jpg |
This was another big fun Sunday thread. Thank you Mike for the new delivery backstories and the great pictures of older Corvettes.

Thanks for the pics Mike. Hope you have a great vacation next weekend. My favorite today is a pretty awesome ZR1 , I bet the new owner thinks so too.

Thanks Mike for another great Sunday morning of pictures of happy new owners and a little bit of corvette history. It's been exactly one month since I was one of those happy new owners, and I am even happier now. Have a great vacation. Thank you for all you do to help keep America's sports car rolling. How the heck did that vette get under that semi like that? My favorite this week:

I liked the pictures from the Pagoda Plaza at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.I counted three pictures outside and four inside.
I was at this car show on Friday and got to drive my 2019 Sebring Orange Grand Sport around the 500 mile race track. Were you at this show? How did you get these pictures so fast? |
Thanks for the stories and pics and congrats to all the new owners.

The same Vette---that is really an incredible memory and story. And have a great vacation! |
