Philadelphia Show Black ZL1. Thanks Scott

[Shurenuff]

Thanks for the pics of one sexy ZL1.

And for those who ordered a automatic with the suede package, this the first vehicle and pics I've seen with what looks to be a suede auto shifter

And like everyone says, It looks a lot better in person!

Love the black ZL1 wheels but I think a black ZL1 looks better with the 5 spokes.

It was a great time. As others stated we were all bummed Scott wasn't feeling well. But someone has a Camaro drawing done with the Philadelphia skyline in the background. Jewel and I both signed the matting with our names and then our C5 names. Hopefully this makes Scott's day a little brighter.

I was able to drive the Volt and the Sonic.

However, since Scott was sick I was unable to sit in the ZL1. It was still a hell of a time though and easily worth the long drive from central pa and the early wake up call today.

It was truly a pleasure to meet some of my fellow c5'ers and see the ZL1 up close and share it with all the Chevy faithful.

Feel better fbodfather! And thanks again for a wonderful experience.

I am so very sorry that I wasn't able to be there.

For many years I got migraines - fortunately they went away (or so I thought) after I rec'd heart stents back in 2006 -

I awoke at 1am this morning-- with a migraine severe enough that I lost partial sight.....and the only real cure is to prop oneself up in bed - and hold on for dear life. (lots of 'dreams' and flashes and such...and sometimes nausea) They can last for as short as 4 hours and as long as 12. (right now it's calmed down to a dull 'thud'...)

By 4:30am I realized that there was no way I'd be able to show up to unveil the ZL1 and enjoy a morning with my fellow enthusiasts....:( and that is a huge disappointment for me.

Jeremy and Ashley ( Jeremy Donovan -- who is one of our "12 disciples of which there are 15") were staying at the same hotel - so I called him and asked him to come by my room and pick up the Tickets so that everyone could continue with their morning encounter with the ZL1.

I apologize to all of those who made the trip to Philadelphia - and especially to those of you who have a ZL1 on order and came to Philadelphia (...it was my intention to have those with a ZL1 on order come up on the turntable to climb in and get the 'Ultra-grin' started......)

I DO hope all of you who made the show had a great time - and that it was well worth getting up very early in order to see the ZL1 prior to show-open.

And finally - a very special "thank you!" to Mr. Mark Hendron for what I understand is a most remarkable work of art. Unfortunately I haven't seen it yet - i've asked Jeremy to take a picture of it and send it to me - and to take the work of art home with him and then ship to my home.... (as I can't get it on the plane in the morning) -

Mark, I know the quality of your work - and I know it is something that I will always treasure -- and I am anxious to get it and display it with great pride.

Black is the new Awesome.

Has no one mentioned that the headrest lettering is completely non-red ?




BTW, Scott - Get the Doc to give you some Maxalt. The stuff nips migraines in the bud very effectively.

By the way guys, my order QBVGJ5 went to 2050 status about the time the Carbon Fiber went off constraint, I think the 2 are related. Just a hunch. After seeing the ZL1 at car shows, the anticipation keeps building. Regards.
