Road trip !!!!
Hi everyone !!
I am about to enter the world of C5's !! I have been wandering about this site for a couple of months in search of my "dream car' and am now about to set out on a "Road Trip" to go and pick it up !!
With the help of Troy (A.K.A. 1 NASTY Z) we have made the deal and I am on my way !! 1,000 miles and 18 hours (one way) !!
I just wanted to say "HI" and again thank "1 NASTY Z" for all the help and information to get the ball rolling !!

Keep it safe and don't do too much romping on the Vette too far from your home!
You can save the money from the ticket for some Mods!
Enjoy and let us know when it is back!
Thanks,Matt

Ease into driving that bad boy home...1k miles is a lot of time so don't go crazy at your first stop light. Enjoy the ride home. I drove mine 2900 miles home last fall and it was an amazing experience. You will never forget this trip!!!
Drive safe and take some good pics
