Default Friday is the big day!

I am picking up my new machine silver Z06 at the museum on Friday! I only live about 1 hour away so I will be taking the long way home!

I will post pics and feedback over the weekend. The anticipation is almost too much. I'm praying for good weather...we are expecting some snow. I hope I don't have to follow it home on the back of a ramp truck.

It's currently on webcam delivery 6.

I arrive at the museum at 7:45 am, I believe we go right over to the plant for the tour. I'm not exactly sure what time I take delivery.

I can't wait to hear my new 505 hp sound system!!!!

Unfortunately you don't get to play with your toy right away. They take you on the tour first.

Having owned a few muscle cars in past (camaro-vettes) in hugger and ontario orange, I came close to ordering the Atomic but in the end, not bright enough for my taste.

I'm very happy with my choice.

I had Curt also GREAT guide! (7:45 also) Got a few extras! Start a new Z, and sit in the station for the brake gear speed Data test! Ask your guide for those two! That made my tour the BEST!
CONGRATS!

Well....it snowed in Nashville last night....a whopping 3" of snow and the city is a complete mess.....65 north shut down due to a multiple car pile up so I can't make it to the museum this morning....the wait continues....I’m hoping to get an afternoon delivery.
