Finally got mine
Picked up my crt coup z51 yesterday at Criswell chevy. Just beat the snowstorm. Drove home 90 miles, temp in teens and no problems. Was fiddling with on way home and lost my XM music. Tried everything . When I got home and my wife was following me said her Xm had also gone out. A lot to learn . Mike Furman was a great help. He got me out before my car was snowed in. Its now snowed in at home.

Congratulations on getting your car. I too had to dodge snow storms back in November. While it is parked get her up on your hoist and admire the view underneath. The quality of fit and finish under the car is amazing. I love the hollow castings of the front and rear cradles and the a-arms. The brake calipers look as beautiful from the back as the front. Computer design is evident everywhere with lines, wiring, exhaust, and major components fitting together beautifully.
The only thing that disappoints me it the quality of the welds at the rear of the mufflers going to the exhaust valves. Lots of spatter and weld discoloration, not equal to the rest of the exhaust welds. Mine sits on the hoist all the time for addition room so I walk under it often. It is a very satisfying experience admiring the engineering underneath.

She's a beauty. Glad you got her home before the snow. I may be facing the same problem in a few weeks with my 250 mile drive home. Hopefully the season will have begun to change and improve by then.
Congrats on the new C7!
