Default My Museum Experience

Just returned to Arizona from my museum delivery last Wednesday. While it rained on the day of our pick up we were still able to get a couple of pictures. Drove 1800 miles in 4 days, all 2 lane the first 2 days for break in with no issues. What a great car, ride is awesome. I still can't get over the gas mileage. As far as the museum delivery it was well worth it for me and the folks there are passionate and go all out to satisfy you. Now it is time for a good detail job.

Congrats on your new car. Nice long ride back home for you to break her in. I get to pick up my 2015 DSOM vert on Friday at the museum.

Have fun on your trip and congrats to you as well. Please try finding out for us about an actual build week for the Z06 cars and, originally set to take place in October then learned it may not be until week of November 3rd.

Congratulations from Canada.

I work from a home office and I would peek at the Delivery 5 cam occasionally through the morning and I saw the two of you getting the *scoop* on your new Vette. A couple hours passed and your car was gone. I thought - there goes two Vetterans heading home to AZ with big smiles on their faces.

Speaking of DSOM, has anyone seen a DSOM on the museum webcams yet? I check them daily and I haven't seen one yet. I'll be checking on Friday to see the one being delivered for sure. In pictures it sure looks like a really nice color.
