Default My NCM Pickup Day!

Had a perfect delivery and pickup of my 2007 Roadster. Carroll at the NCM was a great host and made my experience all that I expected.

I'm coming from a 1997 C5. The car is leaps and bounds ahead of my 97 in every aspect. If you have any specific questions about the differences, just ask me and I'll be glad to answer.

Here are some pics!

As Paris Hilton would say..."That's hot." Bought my car from a local dealer, feel like I got cheated! Gotta get down to visit the NCM!

Congrats and remember the wave!
My NCM delivery was over a year ago now and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. What an experience. I'm going to do it again when I get my C7.

Doug,
My wife and I had Carrol also for our tour and pickup in Jan 06. Looks like we even had the same slot inside the NCM, I remember the flag made out of cars. Your car looks great by the way. Enjoy.

Congratulations!!

I was looking for ya, remembered seeing your posts before I had left. I was at the plant from 6am till 1 or 2pm that day. When I went to the museum, the four cars behind yours in the picture below were all still there. (orange coupe, blue coupe, black coupe, mont red coupe).





Also, saw your name on the board, while waiting on my name earlier in the day.

Thanks everyone! Yes the smile is just unavoidable when you're picking up a new Vette! Everyone should do the NCM delivery at least once to experience it!

Just missed you. I left the museum at about 12:30.

I'm with Tom. I bought mine (my first vette) at a dealer. The next one will definitely be picked up at the NCM!! I knew how I felt picking mine up at the dealer.. I don't know if my heart would be able to handle the excitement picking one up at the NCM.

Congrats!

I'm sure it was a tough wait, but well worth it huh?

Carroll was my host as well and made my experience very enjoyable.
