After Waiting 5 Decades!

Hameister · 12-19-2012, 08:39 AM

Hi all,

I have waited over 50 years to purchase my first 'vette.

I have a 2013 GS on order with every option I wanted. It should look exactly like the photos I configured below.

I've joined several Corvette forums, to educate myself some more, while I await delivery of my car.

Just thought I'd say hello here.

That is one beautiful car. Drive it, care for it and wave at all your Vette buds but most of all have fun with it.

Are you going to pick it up in Bowling Green?

Nope, gonna wait it out here in South Florida. I'm in the process of trying to sell my Condo, and preparing to move into a new house. Were it not for all that, I would have gone to Kentucky for sure!

I'll bet the anticipation is just KILLING you! When is it supposed to be delivered?

It's going to look great!

Thanks Bob, nice to see you here!

I really like the default color scheme used here,... very easy on the eyes.

I see you've been a member for about 9 months.

Ya know, I must have spent a week trying to decide between Black, Yellow, and Silver. Agonized over it. Love all three colors. I finally chose Silver because it doesn't show dirt like most other colors. Over time, Silver seems to hide those tiny marrs, and scratches, and marks, better that other colors. What I didn't like was the fact that Silver is rather common looking. Not striking like Yellow, or Black, but easier to maintain. Guess I took the easy way out, ha!

I hope to spend a little time tomorrow, reading through some threads, and familiarizing myself with this site.

I have to do something to kill time. Waiting for this machine is driving me crazy!

I know what you mean on picking colors! I was torn between jet stream blue & velocity yellow. Went with yellow, figured if someone ran into me and said they didn't see me we would know they are a liar!

Geeze, I never thought of that...yellow is the anti-liability color!

Btw, I sent an e-mail to our local friendly Chevy dealer, asking my sales guy for an explanation of any perks that may/may not, come with club membership. I'll let you know what he tells me, but I don't expect to hear anything for a few days.

Oh, UPS just delivered my new Lloyd mats, and California Car Cover, as well as a few other odds and ends. Now all I need is the car!
