We got a new toy

Post by ConeEater »

Well,
We managed to keep it mostly a secret until the very end. Kim and I bought a 2021 Corvette Coupe yesterday and brought her home.
Put the deposit down back in June and our allocation came up available in December. With all the plant shutdowns and parts shortages, it took about 4 weeks longer to get built, but on 3/15 the car was built and we picked her up @ the NCM yesterday.

The car is amazing. I drove most of the way home to keep an eye/ear out for anything odd. Early build cars had various issues and wanted to make sure nothing happened on the way home.

Big thanks to Paul M. for bringing his over before we ordered the car to make sure we could get it in the garage without the front lift system.

Between you and Tom Reynolds (he got a new Cayman GT4), I'm doing a lot of vicarious living right now. Congrats!

Thanks everyone. This thing is really something. Still trying to get on enough miles to clear the break-in procedure but we're 1/2 way there now. Drove it around town last night and stopped by Chateau Pilson to show them and so on.

Any bets on how long before Brian changes his signature?

ohhhhhhhhhh....

I'm willing to bet someone a good chunk of $ that it will never happen.

MAYBE 1 time just to see what it does, but I doubt even that. All seasons, no fancy Diff, etc... not really interested in trying it.
