Thanks Joe! It's ready and waiting. Come on over and we'll go for a spin.

Awesome!!!! I'm sure you're going to love it Todd!
Thanks Gray! Yeah, to me it's the best looking car I could have possibly bought. I was only going to pull the trigger if I could get exactly what I wanted: Supersonic Blue, Ebony Leather, and 3ZR.

Congrats Todd. Supersonic Blue is beautiful.

ZR1 owners wear platinum neck chains, other Corvette guys settle for gold.

Thanks Tony. It was pretty much Supersonic Blue or nada. I'll have to go shopping for that platinum chain before next cars and coffee.

Thanks Neil, but I'd better not. One is going to have me making mortgage- sized payments for the next four years.
