Default Got Mine Tuesday Night

Had it trucked to Oregon from Nebraska, unloaded it (Machine Silver, 23 miles on the clock) in the Target parking lot and drove an hour to my house which was two blocks away. Interestingly, I hadn't driven a Vette (except for a dopey 68 my girlfriend had) since I sold my '65 365 25 years ago. I felt perfectly at home immediately and it's everything I'd hoped for! I stood in the garage grinning until I had to just make myself stop and go in the house. Awesome.

I know how you feel. I felt exactly the same way when I got my Z06 in June of 2001 and here is what I found...

After three years of ownership... I still get that same feeling every time I get behind the wheel of my Z06. My wish for you is that you enjoy the magic of that first time behind the wheel every time you drive your Corvette.

The Trucker is a good guy called me yesterday to let me know everything is fine and he has a few cars to drop and is heading east with my new toy. I haven't had alot of sleep since last friday nite when I closed the deal. congrats to you. and. Is the machine silver as nice as it looks in a picture? I haven't seen it otherwise. Ragtop

Two blocks and hour is realling breaking it in slow, I think you could do 35 or 40 mph without hurting it.

Ragtop.
Sorry I didn't get back to you. I'VE BEEN OUT DRIVING! Yes the MS is excellent and a little different, I think you'll agree. Today- first wax and CAGS eliminator.
