Default My almost 50 year wait is over

My ZO6 has arrived and I just can't stop smiling. I met a friend tonight at the dealership and we took some pictures and talked to a few of the salesmen who were working late tonight. This is the first ZO6 to arrive at this dealership and the salesmen told me that when they unloaded it off the transporter and drove it into the service bay every person in the dealership came too see the car all at the same time. Of course all the techs but the secretaries, the accountants, receptionist,finance people, literally every person in the entire dealership encircled this car and just stared at it for a good amount of time . The owner did not even mind that his entire team just put everything on hold for 15 minutes while they all just took in the moment. As he told us the story I felt like a rock star.i wished I could have been there. I would of hugged everyone of those people.I am still smiling right now as I recall his story.
