Default 2010 Grand Sport delivered in GA

I went with my good friend Don Luther as he took delivery of his 2010 cyber gray Grand Sport Tuesday morning.
To say he was a little nervous would be an understatement, but the nerves quickly turned to BIG grins as he took delivery of his new baby. It is gorgeous.
There is some thought this might be the first GS delivered in GA. Any one have any other information?

Here are a few pics I shot:

Don's first glimpse of the car.


It was waiting out front for Don








Jason goes over a few details with Don


The grins get bigger and bigger.


It's all mine now.


A couple of very happy corvette enthusiasts, Don and Jason


Don did not even get out of sight of the dealership. Glad he was going the other way....LOL




Rolling down the highway.

Thanks to my bud Kudzu for driving me to the pick-up and recording the memories on film. One hell-of-a-photographer. This is #14 and #4 in the last 5 years. "Miles of smiles" as Dave Hill would say. The GS is totally incredible out of the box, all have to experience the ride. I've had everything since my first vette a 63 split to a L-88 69 to 04,06 and nothing compairs. Probably because I'm old. But, just drive one and you'll know what I' talking about. Thanks again Calvin and Jason for the ride!!!!!!:cheer s:

Sweeet! Glad to see some forum members are taking delivery and posting pics. Gives me something to drool over while I wait for my delivery day. Congrats and enjoy! Would like to hear more about the ride and handling when you have time to post.

Mike, Actually they're silver . I like the 6 piston and 4's as they are. The only reason "Blue" is going is I have a choice of selling him or building another garage and no room to do that. I only teach airplanes not fly them like you do. Thanks for the post. The calipers are powder coated but may want to change colors. I too have a WIDE BODY.

So you have a XLR-V too? Soon we will have at least 2 things in common! My Callaway GS is going to be the same color (CRM) as my 2009 XLR-V.

Don, what a great looking car. You lucky bastard!
Calvin,
Great, just great, pictures! You really nailed it when you got this shot. Don could not wipe the grin off his face!
