Default Just back from pick-up


Museum was a great experience and worth the added expense, if you are on the fence would do it as it is quite professional, the tour is informative, and the experience a one in a life time. Plan was to spend some time in Nashville (Fun place), Drive to the Tail of the dragon (did it three times), visit Mom in Hilton Head (get an oil change), and arrive home in Orlando FL over a 5 day period. In all put 1100 miles on the car; had a blast on the TN roads (who ever designed them only had a protractor and no ruler). Coming from a 2014 Z51 and this car a is a big step up. Power is good, car rides on rails, and it looks great. More pics later as I sort through them all but here is a quick pick to see the new beast. Plan this week is to get tint and Xpel as it will be a daily driver.

Great color combo and contrast!!!
You might consider a dark window tint and black lug nuts to improve the contrast.
Just a suggestion. Enjoy your new ride!
