You're going to miss that 72 but really enjoy the way your new C5 drives. Sounds like you had a nice shakedown cruise. Nothing like buying a new Vette and going on a road trip

Thanks I would post pics but it is a little dirty from the ride up and it's below freezing here to wash it. I will eventually get the pics up.
