Welcome home! We did pretty much the same ride last December when I picked up my vert in St Pete. St. Pete to Haymarket, VA. - Right down Rte 15 from you.

Congrats on the ride. Let's cruise sometime.

glad you made it back safe

I flew in to Newark NJ to pick up my car (thanks to Gary@ Park Ave. Motors) and drove her about 1000 miles to Nashville TN within 2 days(traffic and construction is terrible, PA not recommended). Talk about getting to know your corvette. It was an awesome trip! I even got to see 34 mph! I was very amazed and impressed and I still am.
