Default Hi I’m Ronnie and I am a Corvette Addict going on 30 years since I first owned a 1981

Hi gang,
I actually bought my 2nd and 3rd corvettes from members here and now I just sold my 2003 Anniversary coupe for my next and longtime wait for my newest edition I am picking up in NJ Wednesday a 2009 LT3 with Z51 suspension. I’m debating on taking the road trip back to South Florida or Auto Train it. Both have me equally concerned. But it’s my first C6 and I am looking to join a local corvette group and get involved with more activities. I am very knowledgeable about C4 generations and all the quirks if you guys have any questions or need advice. After a 3 year intimate relationship with my 03 C5 I guess I have learned a lot as well. I am turning 50 in November so this new (to me) new purchase is part of my bday present to myself as well as the usual accessories and add ons that I’m already planning. I look forward to meeting members personally and enjoy some fun rides.
thanks for reading and have a great holiday weekend.
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie!
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for acknowledging your Corvette addiction.
Understand your concerns as you debate driving or shipping, but if everything checks out, the drive home will help you become more familiar with your new car.
If you haven't already, you may want to look through the C6 section of the forum, especially the Sticky Notes, for more insight into driving or shipping your car home. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/.
Best wishes!

Welcome to the forum Ronnie. Congrats on your new-to-you C6 and your upcoming 50th birthday! C6’s are great touring cars. If you make the drive home, I think you’ll love it. Best of luck!
