Sounds pretty similar to mine except for black interior and M7 transmission. I bought used and the minute I saw the colour combination I knew I was hooked. Congratulations on your purchase and have a safe trip home and of course post pics here lol

"Why have flashers on?" Not sure, but I think... maybe... OP was being humorous... or, ironic... or, he just wants everyone to notice him and/or his new toy... or...??? 
Come on, no one ever told him an obvious (flashing), slow-moving target is easier for the semi-trucks, buses, joy-riding kids, etc. to run into.

Bought the exact same color combinations/options from Kerbeck a year ago. Hope your trip home goes better than mine went. After picking up the car and leaving Atlantic City, the skies opened up so bad we couldn't see the road ahead. Onstar gave us some erroneous directions and I still don't know where we were in N.J. - still couldn't see the road. Made it to our motel in Delaware - no thanks to Onstar. Coming down I-95 the next day (we live in N.C.), trying to vary the speed to properly break in the car for the 1st 500 miles, we'd pass a truck, get passed by the same truck(s) numerous times. Came thru D.C. just prior to rush hour. No sooner cleared the D.C. traffic , ran into a 3.5 hour backup on I-95. Later found up there were 12 tractor trailers and 19 cars in an accident. Sat on I-95 for 3.5 hours in 90 degree heat. One or two more minor issues prior to finally arriving home about 6.5 hours later than expected. But as they say, any landing you walk away from is good landing! But since then, nothing but good experience with the new Vette. The week after we got home, my Corvette club went to Nashville for a week. Rained all the way there. On the way back, we came up the Blue Ridge Parkway and ran into light snow - that was fun with summer tires. Experiencing every scenario imaginable the 1st week with this Vette, everything since then has been very tame. At least I found out quickly what to expect in every road condition.
