Well congratulations. 
Remember to keep it at 55 or below for the first 500, and after that do not go over the speed limit.

That's sage advice. I would add, accelerate at no more than 1/3rd throttle, shift at 2500 rpms, always use your turn signals, no talking on the cell phone while driving, etc....

PS. Ignore all that I just wrote!

Congratulations, sounds like a great trip to get to know each other. Funny you mention Cedar City, honk when you go past my exit on RT15(Toquerville).

Looks like it's in the Skydome. Sweet, that is where my 06 C6 was when I picked it up back a couple of years ago. Interesting all the Cyber Grey ZR1's waiting delivery.
Enjoy, you are a Lucky person. Have Fun, and be safe heading back home.
Happy Motoring;

WOW! This thing is awesome!!!!!!!!!! The sound.... The acceleration (only 3/4 throttle) The ride......
I make it a habit of breaking in easy on the hard throttle and braking and no constant speed for the first 500; but ALL my cars are broke in this way and all have been great cars.. so it works for me (your break-in may vary)
Being GMs 100th birthday today I was there during lunch time celabration and got to meet the plant manager (kidded him about how soon I would have to buy one of His special editions)
Did hear of something special coming in the spring (Can't say a thing yet though)
And did I mention this thing is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Rides will be available in the LA area after 1st of Oct when I am home.
To the Utah gentlman; I am stopping in Union City I think it is, to meet a friend for dinner; is that close to you?
Time to try and sleep; I'll check in tomorrow evening!
Bob Bea says hi and I'll see ya soon; thanks for th photo capture
