Default Hit the magic number

So bright and early this morning, a little over 48 hours after I rolled off the lot at Classic Chevy, Grapevine, I crossed the 500 mile mark. Gotta love the miniature fireworks display programmed into the DIC. I'll also bet the fool following me was surprised at the flames which momentarily shot out the exhaust.

I'm still at 300 miles. Do I need to stare closely at the dash to see it....is it only there for a few milliseconds?!

Congrats! Picking mine up from Callaway in Lyme Rock, CT on Friday. I'll turn 500 miles on the way back. Looking forward to the 'light show'.
