And the wait begins!
Just placed my order for a ELBM Stingray Z51 M7 2LT! I should probably tell my wife.
Thanks Patman for the advice on where to purchase here in the great white North 🇨🇦, both Jeff and Tracy were top shelf.

I didn't tell my wife until I HAD TO.

Congrats on your order. Hope the build goes smoothly and you get your car so you can do plenty of driving this summer.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission!

Very nice choice. I was torn between that exact combo or a ELBM GS M7 2LT. Then I found a sweet deal on a Z06.
I can totally see myself trading in for an ELBM Vette at some point; it's the color I really wanted.
Hopefully they get it made and shipped soon; the wait is gonna kill ya (if the wife doesn't!).

And, it's best to tell the wife now. That way at least one of your eyes will be healed enough to see that beauty when it arrives at the dealer.

Exiting times, you're going to love it. The wife will be ok after seeing it. Mine didn't fine out about mine until she heard me speaking with the Intercity driver.

It's better to have agreement with your legal partner on financial matters. Especially when spending that kind of jack. Good luck on breaking the new$!!

I did take her to look at the difference between a Stingray and grand sport. She also told me to pick what I liked but she really didn’t care for the wide GS, so I basically built a GS without the widebody. I sold my ‘96 CE Coupe today, so that should soften the news a bit when I decide to come clean with the news.

Congrats! I ordered a new Z06 a few weeks ago, it's been sitting with Mike F at Criswell waiting for me until the first week of April when I can get down there to grab it.
