[QUOTE="Cobravenomous, post: 202673, member: 4592"] My wife was so fed up with me ([I]8 months bugging-I actually was initially building 2018's but so much time lapsed that they were no longer available ha ha[/I]) that she finally out of anger said, "[I]go buy the f_____ng thing[/I]". That was October 03rd (2018). Ten o'clock the very next day, October 04th I was at the dealer and placed an order with a very substantive deposit........ha ha! I have been dealing with this dealer for over thirty years and my last three Cadillac orders ([I]all fully loaded[/I]) did not require a deposit, and neither would the Corvette, however my logic was put a sh_t load of a deposit down so that I couldn't following "buyers remorse", walk away....ha ha. Well it took me a little over a week to tell her, and I actually did it in front of my son so that she couldn't go bananas on me! The car came in early, mid-April and I wasn't ready for it yet as I still hadn't secured alternate storage for my Mustang Cobra, so my Corvette stayed in the dealer's showroom, all chained off to prohibit public touching and limiting viewing from five feet away. Well it took her ten days before she would even go look at it, even though I made excuses to go see it every other day ha ha. There were two Grand Sports and my Z06 in the showroom. The first words out of her mouth was, "[I]why is ours $30,000 more than the other two[/I]"? It took her about another month, but she actually began to refer to the car as ours and she became okay with it then. Almost forty years of marriage and never once before did I make a purchase without her approval.........but I decided I was finally going to get a Corvette! Risky but worth it for me.......everyone is different ....so tread carefully.......ha ha! Cobra. ;);) [/QUOTE]
