You picked an awesome combination of options IMHO.

The blue paint, those wheels, the competition seats, and of course a manual

Great looking car.

That stretch of I 75 is truly terrible, amazing how bad Michigan roads are compared to some of the states around us.....

I was so paranoid leaving Kerbeck, then it started to rain sideways for almost 2 hours, then I get to Philly during rush hour and almost got rear ended! Thankfully today was a great drive, and I have to say Rt 30 running West from Breezewood, PA Westbound to Latrobe is a fantastic 2 lane mountain road.

Great looking color combination. Not bad for your first Vette. Doesn't get much better. Thinking back on my first Corvette--I had to tow it to my house.

Thanks Dave and sorry if it was in poor form to add my first corvette experience to your post. Enjoy your GS and I hope you are having as much fun as I am.

I was fortunate to pick the car up in Atlantic City and drive back to Michigan, and I made every effort to take two lane mountain roads - it was a great 750 mile drive back. Now I have to find some roads in Michigan that aren't flat and full of potholes
