Definitely need pics (I state that selfishly as I'm considering that color combo).

Congrats.

Ya I would be curious also if after 300+ miles you got a lot of attention/reaction on the road from a vette that no one has seen before?

How was the room in the drivers seat after that long drive? From your pics you look to be a pretty tall guy.
