Went to the GSTA show instead. I can't imagine there was much of a turnout of really interesting cars today. It was only 20 above at 8 AM and there's no way I would be driving mine in those temps with the 'summer' Z51 tires. You can't safely do any spirited driving with that combination.

I just drove my white 2LT from Bowling Green and arrived to Plymouth the day before the 11" of snow. Had to stop at South Bend at TireRack to get new tires (Continental all season) and will put the Michelin's on new rims for summer use. TireRack does not yet have any rims which fit this car as they measured mine and took a bunch of pictures. Fun to have mine in their catalog some day when they have rims for it.

I couldn't take it any longer so with it reaching 70 today I put insurance back on and went for a ride. I had a smile on my face the whole time and when I stopped for gas I had 4 people gathered around looking, asking questions and taking pictures. I love this car!!!!

2700 miles on mine since mid December.
With the temp of 70 today, my evening commute home was with the top down, of course.

This is the color combo I almost got. 4/28 seems like a long way off I'll bet.

Hi BBBOOMR Was out yesterday and drove alligator Slide, looks fun but to much sand still on it to do any aggressive driving. Went up to EauClaire for some shopping and food, Thanks for the tip. CloudOdust

Mike, even thou your car was built a week after mine, my car is still sitting in BG (built on April 1st) waiting for a full truck to come home. At least by truck, when it does leave, I know it will only be a couple more days, unlike rail not knowing how long it will sit in Ohio for transfer.

Highway 61,

I was unable to get my work schedule worked out until now. I will trailer my 2008 ZO6 down to my dealership in East Moline, IL tomorrow morning and return with my Stingray that afternoon. Everything seemed to fall into place for me just as my dealer said it would. I hope that your car shows up soon. It is tough to wait knowing it is just sitting there in BG. Keep the faith, it will all work out soon.

Mike

Hopefully you're far enough south you don't have to deal with any snow that fell last night. Gee, we got another 7"-8" on the ground here this morning. I just checked the Chevy tracker and it said Shipped/En Route, so mine should be here any day now.
