I'm set on CRM. Now I just have to find one equipped the way I want it. I already started a relationship with the local dealer. I like dealing locally given my first choice. If they don't come up with something soon, I might order and do the Museum pick up.

I had a Monteray red Corvette I bought in S.C. and drove back to Atlanta Ga kids were hanging out of cars checking out the color so I don't think Crystal red is an old man's color just this old man's thoughts.
White reminds me of the old folks my parents and the 70,s and early 80,s everyone wanted white Corvette to me it has no pizzaz.

Isn't it amazing that St. Louis was the original home of the Corvette, and now its tough to find a corvette here?

Where do you guys get off with the "old mans color" issue....!!! Firstly,
define "old man"....!!?? Then define what makes for an old mans color in a car. Crap, if God be willing, you will all get to be what you classify as an old man!
I am soon to be 70 driving Velocity Yellow and my 68 year old girl friend drives a red Mercedes 500SL...so, lets get some respect on this forum, damn snot nosed kids!!!!

Crystal Red Metallic is a tasteful color; the F55 option is a very sophisticated suspension. Such things are appreciated by more mature and knowledgeable individuals. Others prefer "look at me" colors and more showy options like Nav screens, heads-up displays, and "paddle shift" automatic transmissions. Their is plenty of room in this world for all tastes.

I remember driving by there as a kid on the way to the zoo. It was a sight to see all those cars outside. Not the best part of town.

I would have taken m/r, but it wasn't a must. Hardly any cars are offered with it.
My car is on its way. CRM, heritage two tone ebony/titanium, dual mode, auto w/ paddle, Nav, Chrome wheels and silver hash marks is what I ended up with.

Thanks for your input people. It's been fun.
