Default I really need to sleep because I have a long drive tomorrow.

I have to get some rest because I am driving between 900 and 1,000 miles to pick up a car.

It looks like it will be warm in NH when I get there on Wednesday, the forecast is between 50 and 55 degrees so I won't have to worry about cold weather mucking up my tires, the temps where I live should be in the 80s. At least I will be able to put the top down when I get home.

If all goes as planned I should have the car on Wednesday but I may spend a day in NH resting up before I head back home.

This has been a frustrating experience, I ordered almost this exact car with museum deliver back in Nov and had given up all hope of ever getting it and was all ready to order a 2015 but that would have meant I wouldn't have a car this summer.

I was a bit depressed until I found almost the exact car I order 900 miles away, It is a pre march 3 silver convertible & black interior Z51 3LT with manual trans, exhaust, and magnetic ride, (black wheels which I love along with black calipers) it also has the battery saver which I did not want and the carbon flash paint on the mirrors and spoiler. I also wanted the carbon fiber dash but I read someone was able to install it as a DIY project/ I really wanted the museum delivery and factory buyers tour nut I am happy to have found this car.

I am going to leave the computer on and listen to an old radio show which usually puts me to sleep

Drive safe, and remember that nothing is stopping you from taking a nap at the next rest area.
Enjoy the trip back with that new car!

Sounds like you're heading to MacMulkin Chevrolet. Have a safe drive home and enjoy your new Stingray.
Weather forecast is good for Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

That ride home is going to be a good one and you will arrive with a new car, all broke in!

Congrats!

H ate to fly, and if I do fly I try not to fly when the weather is cold, wing icing make it more dangerous.

Most important reason is I bring my dogs with me where ever I go.

I have a Hertz car reserved I was toll to call them at 8:15 and the will deliver it to my house.

I am finishing up on packing right now
