Thanks for sharing your journey, was an entertaining read 
Agreed with @Old School , check codes to see why it's giving that warning.
Weird thing happened while driving down the other side. Driving along with nothing particular going on, the TC/ABS light came one and display said, "Service Traction Control System". Once I shut the car off and restarted, it went away. It happened again later on in NV driving along a long straight stretch. Same deal, shut off car and restart and it went away. Any ideas why it did that?

Congrats on the beautiful car!! Awesome road trip and pics. I once rode a motorcycle across Nevada on Highway 50, at night. Amazing variances in the ambient temps!!!

What you did is my dream, and the reason I bought my Vette in the first place! I'll live vicariously through you for now, thank you so much for taking us along for the ride!

Alan, congrats on the Z06 and thanks for sharing your road trip with us. The Z does drive noticeably different than its sister models ( I can personally attest in regard to the coupe). Same 3.42 rear end ratio, by the way. Just the trannie gearing is different. As to the warning message that you experienced, I would agree that it sounds like your EBCM is starting to fail; pulling the codes should confirm this. It is intermittent now but will most likely become progressively worse (bad solder joints and/or relays); the same scenario happened to mine. I sent it to ABSfixer and it hasn't thrown a code since he repaired it and I got it reinstalled. Good luck, best wishes, and if you're ever in the neighborhood...

I'll keep and eye on the abs and check codes. It hasn't come back up again but if it does I'll probably send it to ABSfixer just to be safe.
