I probably put this in earlier, but interesting story an a bit long...
2002 Electron Blue Corvette Z06
Ordered from a dealership in Indiana. I lived in Denver at the time.
Had the Museum option: pick it up at the Corvette Museum, get tour of museum , and tour of the Corvette factory.
Delivery was set for 9/13/2001.
Well everyone knows what happened on 9/11.
Airlines all shut down, so we left work early and drove wife's car to Kentucky.
Walked in the door of the museum and they weren't ready for delivery.
They didn't think we would be coming.
So while they were scrambling around getting the paperwork ready, we got to tour the museum, including all the cars and everything else in the back.
Got to see the only 1983 Corvette in existence.
After we did some signing and were ready to go to the factory, they told us it was shutdown because of the incident.
Museum was nice enough the make arrangements to have my wife's car shipped home for us.
So we continued on our vacation. F##k terrorists.
Went to the dealership in Indiana to meet the guy we bought it from.
That is where my avatar pic was taken.
Then off to a pig roast at a friends in Indiana.
After that headed home.
Stopped at a Chevy dealership in Nashville for an oil change (900 miles).
Shop manager was checking out the car as they had never has a Z06 in there.
He noticed a blemished in the paint and got his body guy to buff it out. Haha
I40 back to I25 up to Rio Rancho, NM to visit a friend, the up to Denver and home.
All things considered, it was a good vacation.
Airline did reimburse us for our airfare.
