Gary, sounds like great drive. Watch out for that ATL traffic jam that seems to occur every day. Have fun! I am in Palm Coast so I will "watch" for you to go by! You will LOVE this car.

Will do. No Atlanta traffic for me. Taking as many secondary roads as possible. We take I-75 only down to Corbin, Ky then 25E southeast to down around Ashville then 26 and 95 down the coast. Miss Atlanta, Knoxville and Chattanooga and other traffic that way. We do love the car. World class sports car for fun with world class sedan comfort and ride.

Default Congratulations.


Got my 427 convertible from Rick in July 2012. Drove it back to SC.
Plan to get ZO6 next year from Rick and do a museum delivery this time.
