Happy days are here for you. Congratulations are in order. I love my '08 and I just know you will love yours as well. Being an old former Omaha guy where is Paradise? That Corvette of yours has to be thrilled to be in Paradise wherever it is!!

Congrats!

I spent some here too, although not as long as you! I am now totally in love with my '08 3LT Z51 M6. Enjoy every minute behind the wheel and under the hood.

Sounds really nice....Congrats!!! Seems like a NE contingency is in the mix! I'm was a resident in Omaha, also. Worked for NWB, USWest and Qwest. Wound up in CO...Littleton area, and I don't miss the weather in Huskerland! You never said where Paradise is??? My vette is an '08 also as you can see in my userid. Great cars!! Have had mine since 2010.

"Later" could be quite a while, based on the information available. Just kidding, OP, good move, you'll love the car.

Congratulations! I know the feeling. I've been wanting a Corvette for a long time, and recently was able to buy a model that was way out of reach for me just a few years ago.
