I'm leaving for Bowling Green tonight, where I'll spend the night, and pick up my C-8 @ 7:45 (CST) tomorrow morning. It's about a two hundred mile trip home. I put down my deposit in February for a 2020, but like many of us, I'll end up with a 2021.

Very exciting! Congrats you are going to LOVE IT.
I ordered out of state, not at the museum, but even so that long drive home with my new baby was a joy etched in my memory.

Be sure to post pics!

Not sure which delivery station they have me scheduled for. Mine will be black HTC with black/red interior.
We're driving over in my buddies C-7 and another buddy is driving his HTC over just to add some break-in miles on his C-8.
My bag is packed and I'm ready to go........

Enjoy the drive. I know I did and experienced many thumbs up, honks and stares at my C8 on my 700 miles drive from NH to OH. Enjoy!

Silver wheels look awesome! I am leaning towards going the same, but with the Midnight Gray stripes and the 2-tone gray interior.
