What time is museum delivery? I'm thinking maybe I fly up there early one morning if possible and just go tot he museum. What about driving home, was anyone nervous about leaving the new car at a motel or do you have the attitude of its just a car? After so many cars, I'm starting to get the attitude of its a car, and if something happens it happens.

If it is only you, the answer is yes. If you bring someone else then we ride in a Trail Blazer. Kinda cramped having 3 adults in the Vette.

Thanks Mike, but it's really nothing. I live maybe 45 minutes from the museum. Always willing to help out a Corvette owner, or a soon-to-be Corvette owner.

Flew into Nashville.
Got the rental at Enterprise (they have a NCM deal) - got a Lucerne.
Drove to BG.
Stayed at the Hampton.
Ate at the Montana Grill (highly recommend this).
Got up the next day and had a SWEET NCM experience!

Enjoy yours!
I loved mine.

Then you drive the sweetness home.

It's all good.

Not bad looking.

I was at the NCM over the weekend and met some folks that did their delivery. They came in from Oregon and a father & son both picked theirs up to drive home.

Way cool!

You sure won't feel weird once you see your new Corvette on display right in front of you in the Museum. And you will feel absolutely ecstatic once you fire it up and head out onto the highway! Your wife and friends can log onto the Museum web site and actually see you as you are taking delivery of your Vette. Museum Delivery is a terrific experience whether you are there by yourself or otherwise.

I will likely go by myself. I'm kind of a loaner anyway, and I'll enjoy the drive home. I can listen to the radio as loud as I want, and fart whenever I want

No. Not for the first 500 miles, until the upholstery leather is "broken in."

well, maybe I'll consider going myself. Does anyone think its feasible to fly in during the morning and pick up the car that day? am I being too much of a cheapskate trying to save the hotel expense?
