Default Just told the wife!

I've been waiting, waiting Done! Just took advantage of MacMulkins 14% off on 2017 G/S. Now I kinda know how the wife felt when she told me we are going to have baby. This time it was my turn! First corvette in the family. I'm thinking cigars when it arrives. Looking forward to many more firsts with the new addition.

Very nice! Where are the side skirts and front spitter?
Are these dealer installed and simply not installed yet?

Looking at the pictures, it is still at a dealer.

Reminds me of a guy I worked with. One day he stopped by the Cadillac dealer and bought a new Caddy. Drove home parked it in the garage and went in the house. When he saw the wife he asked her how she would feel if he bought a new Caddy. She said "not good". He said then you night not want to look in the garage.
He always had my deepest respect after that.
By the way Great looking GS and welcome.

All GSs & Z06s are shipped without those items installed, parts are shipped to the parts department usually before the car arrives and installed during PDI.
