Howdy from the Great Lone Star State

Hey, I am in San Antonio, and would be interested in meeting with other owners from this area and also others from around the state if we can find a good middle meeting ground. Like a good BBQ joint! Would be fun to meet other owners, get personal opinions, and also watch heads turn as they walk by our new "babies" in the parking lot!

Sounds good. I think a hill country run would be nice. By the way, congrats on the VIN!

Yeah, there are lots of good roads in the Hill Country. 16 from Bandera to Kerrville has some great switchbacks.

As early as I ordered, I was a bit surprised to see that many folks before me. But, yeah, not a bad number, far enough to have worked out most of the bugs, but still under 1K.

I think Saturn should give you a parade when you get your SKY... Humor and patience has been your calling card. A role model to us waiters.
I bet your SKY will be everything you dreamed and more!

Ernest, you have shown "virtuous patience" ...and quite a bit of humor.

I guess I owe you an apology. I saw Ernest's post and thought he was the first Texan. Congrats and hope you get back from Florida quickly and can enjoy the car.

Howdy

Okay guys...I've been pulling my guts out since the state fair. I saw my first Sky there and knew I'd own one.

However, a new home is also in my immediate future (like, June) and I must wait to take my roadster home until AFTER I close on the mortgage. I'm going green with envy watching everyone bringing their's home. I guess I'll have to live vicariously through them until the end of summer. Sheesh!!

I agree, a lot of good twisties (oops, sorry MC speak slipping in there). My folks have a place off the Willow City run (been in the family since Texas was settled) and you always see bikes, old cars, and different car clubs go by. Would be neat to have a string of best looking roadsters built today go by!

Hey Texson let us know where this is! If this would be a good neutral meeting place for all of us maybe we could pull it off! I wonder if most of us will be getting our cars about the same time? We've only gotten one at my dealership in Houston and mine is due in next. I went to carrier on the 12th, but, of course I understand that could mean anything! We'll see!

Hill country run? You bet count me in!! Hey Boots, it'll take approximately 13 days from ship to arrival, at least that was my time frame, shouldn't be more than a day or two either way!! I haven't heard from you lately, anything wrong?

Sweet!

It is great to hear that some of you are already getting your Skys.

I'm expecting in about 9-10 months. I just can't wait for that little blue bundle of joy. I look forward to feeding it (Unleaded, of course), bathing it, and taking it out on trips to see the family and friends.

'Course, everyone will want to keep him overnight, but I will definitely be a very protective parent.
