Default A little brand growth for ya.....



Met Garry on the lot early one morning as he like hundreds of folks that have stopped by; to see in living person the all New Stingray Corvette

He was very professional and intrigued at the many deliveries we were preparing…

Garry came more and more interested in the car, asking more questions, talking about the options, packages, etc that led us to discussions of a car I had ordered for the store and was available…

He said he would take that car…never seen it , sat it in it or even drove it….he was getting the fever.

Garry had never had a Corvette and had been looking at Porsches, Lotus’, BMW’s and drive an Audi now. All the while as I said, Garry was very calm and cool, very professional but started getting more excited about the arrival of his first Corvette….

When he came in today, I missed the first expression, I was in my office , he saw the Red on Red Corvette with the top off ready to go and as he comes in my office…he had a GREAT BIG SMILE…he said

“ahhhh man Rick, you were right, this car looks awesome”!


I thought now there’s that big Corvette grin I am used to seeing…he gets it and I am happy for him.

Cross over Corvette win….

Congrats Chevy and thank-you Garry for your business sir, a pleasure!

Just like you activate OnStar for every buyer, you should have every buyer "activate" their membership on Corvette Forum!


Intro to Corvette Forum should be manditory on every Corvette!

Great Story. Congratulations, Garry. I know the feeling. My grin, too, is getting bigger each day I drive my Laguna Blue Z51.
