Horrible conditions for delivery, rain, fog and wind. But the car made it safely to NC (from Alabama). It finally cleared today, so I shot a couple pics before our inaugural drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway...

Our driveway is a challenge for flatlanders. 3/10 mile and up to 15% grade, all unpaved. The guy who delivered my car (truck/trailer) about had a heart attack coming up and destroyed my "rain ditches" because he was too scared to get close to the edge. I'll be re-grading it this weekend... I drove a Maserati Grantursimo up and down my drive for six years, and the Corvette is very similar size and clearance wise, albeit 1000 lbs. lighter. In the winter we are 4WD only, so the Vette will be safely parked in the garage with a charger.

Good one! If you get a little nervous driving over the gravel you can buy some extended splash guards and side skirts. Have fun.
