Not sure how someone always chasing "the latest" can ever be happy, but I digress.

I was pissed. If I had wanted to pay 20k over sticker I could have bought one a year earlier when I placed the order. That dealer was a total crook. Anyway, it all worked out for the best as I would not have been as happy with the "base" 2LT C8 as my SVR AND I would have been jealous of the Z06 C8s anyway.
