Congrats on your car and here's some free advice. If you plan on driving your car during the winter and you get a lot of snow, DO NOT PUT ON DWS! Get yourself a set of dedicated winter tires, the Continentals are useless in the snow, I have them and I know. They're good three season tires but not winters.

I picked up my Corvette this morning around 9 am. Mike got me out in an hour as I was on the road back to Hagerstown at 10. Car is everything I had hoped for and more. Will install a set of Continental DWS 06 tires tomorrow so I can drive safely year round. Selling my OEM tires to a C6 owner. Enjoy the photos, not professional quality but hope they show the body color vents and new wheels.
I'll post a few more photos in a second post.

Congratulations! These cars put a smile on your face every time you start it. I have said this before:
Call your dentist and have your teeth cleaned, you will be smiling all the time. Glad you finally received it. Best of luck!

Glad you finally got your car. Have followed many of your threads. Gotta love that LB and grey interior. I have the same LB and grey interior and the grey carpet with the grey seats really make the interior look custom. I also like the new wheels and LB vents. I am sure you will check your garage before you turn in tonight and make sure your vet is sleeping. Enjoy.

First day is particularly sweet, but it doesn't lose its freshness very fast. Tomorrow will be like Groundhog Day when you go out into the garage. Car looks fantastic (like you need anyone to confirm that) and a big thank you for your service to this country!

Congratulations - very nice color combination. The body colored vents look great. Enjoy discovering your new vette - I'm still learning new things on my 15 every time I get behind the wheel!

Thanks everyone for your positive comments. This forum has been the greatest source of information and encouragement during the process of selecting, ordering and waiting for my Stingray. Now I can officially join the local Corvette club and begin to meet other owners and well as participate in various functions. Thanks to all!
