Default C7 has arrived!!!!

There is not a better feeling when you get a call from the dealership saying your car has finally arrived. It was a long 65 days since ordering my c7 and worth every day. After receiving a call from my salesperson, I left my meeting and drove immediately to the dealership to take a gander at my new car. Have to say I was pretty jacked up with excitement, and I was not disappointment at all!!

This being my first C7 the excitement was ridiculous..

Would also like to give a big thanks to GlenE for taking the time to coach me on detailing. Another thanks goes to the Mods of the corvette forum for having a site that corvette enthusiast can give idea's and problem solving advice.

Pictures are myself with my family picking up my car up at the dealership, rest are pics after I washed, clayed and waxed my corvette the GlenE way!!

The fun has just begun!!!

Cheers,

Rick

Congrats. It's nice that the whole family can be involved in the C7 experience and you have the best color. Blade Silver is not the very popular according to the I have seen posted here but more reason the pick it. My choice too.
Looks like corn behind the car in one of the pictures. Almost as high as an elephant eye.
Kinda looks like the Midwest.
Anyway, enjoy your fine new machine.

Congrats! I got the call today too!!! Went by and saw my Silver Z51 w/ Black Wheels just after it got off the truck (still covered except for the driver's door and wheels)!!!

What a sight!!!

Delivery tomorrow afternoon if I can sneak out of work early(otherwise early evening)!!!

45 days from order put in the system; 39 days from when GM accepted! Super Quick!
