    I got mine last December. I’m still smiling and have put over 9000 miles on it. The best road trip car I’ve ever had.

      Nice. It was just a great time seeing how happy he was seeing it for the first time. I know how it is to get a new car or motorcycle. So I can only imagine a Corvette. Enjoy your Corvette and thanks for watching and commenting I love to hear and see happy things lately in this crazy world.

      @@MotorcyclingwithCarl Thanks for your reply. The dealer has been really good with me communicating about my car. I have had it on order since Nov. 10, 2021. Chip shortages, COVID and a EF3 Tornado that blew down some key infrastructure at the factory all slowed down my Vette delivery. So next week will be exciting.

    Enjoy. I have pretty much the same color just the nacelles is black. I enjoy driving it everytime I drive it. That rapid blue color is co cool in person. No camera capture the actual color. I got mine last December and have nearly 5k miles. Everytime I keep getting high fives from all sort of people.

    Tell Chris to absolutely do the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School in Parhump, NV! More fun than grownups should be allowed. Top drawer experience. They treat you like a VIP! Great food breakfast and dinner both days. Spouse can join for meals and sit in any classroom instruction they wish at no cost. Spouse can also take a hot lap with an instructor if they wish. I HIGHLY recommend!

    This dealer looks like the place to get a Vette. Another in Atlantic City is also a big one. Regular Chevrolet dealers do nothing on dealer discounts and have zero inventory.
