09/18/21~Sundays C8 Corvette delivery post on Saturday eve*Mike Furman@Criswell*
 

~"I'm busier then a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs!"

Sunday the 19th I drive my C8 to Milford, Delaware for Norm's Wax N Chat...some folks flying in from New England
and Michigan...others driving in from the DelMarVa area. October 1st-6th I will host 3 full Corvette driving schools out at Ron Fellows Spring Mountain race track in Pahrump, Nevada.
The night before each class (Oct 1st and 3rd) I will have a pizza dinner party for one and all attendees and their guest in The Clubhouse right on track side, 6pm.

Joe ordered the Tension Blue/Twilight Blue interior with Orange seat belts and Orange full length dual racing stripes! Email from Joe: “Mike
Good morning.
My wife and I had a great time on Friday picking up our new 3LT HTC. Larry and the team at NCM were awesome. Had a great tour of the Museum, and then picked up the car.
We put 1200 miles on it between Bowling Green and Houston Texas. We visited friends in High Ridge Missouri, and then headed back to Texas just in time to get things buttoned up before the Tropical Storm came ashore. All is well, and we had a great trip.”

Any day is a good day for a delivery post!

Great pics, and nice to see the memories you've shared.

True...and better than skipping a week.

Mike

Oh yeah, that's for sure! It made the coffee on Sunday morning not quite as refreshing without the added "Corvettes From Mike." :yesnod:

Great retro pics as always Mike, keep up the good work!

R.I.P Ben. I met him at the forum dinner we had in Bowling Green at the bash in April 2017. You were there too, Mike.

As always, another great round pictures, thanks :thumbs:

Thanks Mike for another week of great pictures and stories! :thumbs:

Congrats. to all the new owners, great looking vehicles hitting the roads across the USA. :cool:

Favorite throwback for me is:
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...06c8b0e471.jpg
Have a great week ahead, and Save the Wave.

I can relate to this as my C8 was the first dropped in Delaware back in Mar, 2020. BACK/BOTTOM position FIRST. Jack Cooper Transport are Pros.

Thanks for sharing.

It doesn't get better than this:

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6e25c2e490.jpg

Congrats to the new C8 owners!! It certainly is great to see that you are doing your part to help the supply of Corvettes catch up with demand.
😇

Favorite throwback photo is the tire air pump. Every gaaoline station had them and free air was available any time.. Now they are rarer than hen's teeth and when you do find one, it costs $1 or more to fill your tires. The only place I know of with free tire air is Wawa.

The scariest photo is the C8 being damaged by the car carrier. Somebody got in a lot of trouble for that and a customer ended up being very disappointed.

Keep up the great work and realize how much your photos brighten up our Sunday mornings!!


https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...c1b66aa9c6.jpg
Free air -- something yiu almost never find anymore except at some Wawa locations. I used to love the bell ringing as you filled up your car tires.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...bc755995bf.jpg
That was obviously a very bad day for the customer, the driver and his company -- not to mention the insurance agent who got the call.

I love this 1958 Corvette!!

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...6ba5ba22ee.jpg

As always, a great way to start my Sunday.

Thank You Mike!

Enjoy the drive and show today.

Safe Travels!

Another great week of sales stories and happy new Corvette owners.

Thanks for sharing the new sales stories and throwback pics. I will go with the one.

Have a great week.
