A HERETIC I AM

I GOT A VIN!!!!!! I've ordered a C-8 Corvette and was just told I have been assigned a VIN! ::EDIT! [View all]

OH MY GOD!




This is the first new car I will have ever bought in my life. I'll be 65 years old in May of 2024. Delivery date is still a question.


5 and a half years ago I put up this post when I took delivery of my current C-7, which was a used unit with about 8800 miles on it. It was my 3rd Corvette and has been a TON of fun to own.

This is what the new one will look like, "Riptide Blue Metallic" with the red brake calipers, the "2LT" package and the "Z51" performance option ;



Not sure of delivery because of the strike. They could shut down Bowling Green Assembly so I don't really know when it will land at the dealer, but it should be in the next 6 weeks!!! If they don't strike for a long time, anyway.



This is what I have for sale;



2016 LT-1 Stingray with 52,000 miles. Wicked quick. Garage kept. Never seen a Jiffy Lube! Oil changes at a GM dealer and ALWAYS well before recommended threshold.

Seriously, I'm not trying to solicit a buyer on DU, but if you happen to be in the market, just PM me.

OH!!


MY!!!

GOD!!

!!!!!!






IT WILL BE AT THE DEALER NEXT WEEK!!!! Holy shitballs!


I was just told it is scheduled for delivery to the dealer on the 11th!

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!
