I guess it's a good thing you don't need tips to survive or you would be in deep trouble. 
I don't recall anyone in this post asking you to give up a single penny out of your pocket. Like I said in my second post, if you feel that someone gave your more than expected for what you payed then you can give them a tip. If not, keep your hands in your pocket.
I think the folks at the Museum do great work and most people here have felt that they got more then they expected and have passed along a little thank you. If it's not your thing than that's fine but there's no need to be so angry towards people who want to.

We're a little different here where we out guys a salary and a flat fee per car. Our guys shouldn't be worried about negotiating, we want them concentrating on being product specialists and making sure that the customer is happy with their purchase.
I know that sounds like a line, but it's true. I started here 21 years ago and have been with Corvette since 1995 and it's always been that way.

If you are talking to a salesman in a good corvette dealership, they will know what you are talking about, just tell them.
Either way, I think it costs about $995.
But make sure you call the NCM to make sure what is included in the delivery so you know exactly what you are getting and if you want to schedule anything else on the same day that is not included in the delivery.

Yah know... I'm sorry here.
I had a great experience and I thought my guy was terrific for the 3 hours we spent together.
But I paid a grand for that 3 hours. And I paid 75 grand for the car, a huge chunk of which went into Chevy's pocket.
I think tipping is something you do for someone who is near minimum wage or makes their living from tips. Believe me, I'm a big tipper and have always been.
But tipping for paying $1000 to pick up a car? Sorry.... that's what I paid the grand for.

The salesman and dealership you buy the car from should send a tip to the NCM staff. They make the same amount as if they prep and deliver the car and never lay a hand on it. They are the big winners for NCM delivery.
