Use Weather Mode on your drive home.

I hear ya..... you get this amazing car with lot of distractions.....lot of things to play with and learn. Why add to the challenge with ugly weather. But I think those above who’s posts were intended to be helpful made some good suggestions.
enjoy

Maybe I am missing something but I just looked at the weather in BG, KY and it looks damn good for the next 10 days. Obviously don't know where your going but there is only a 0-30% chance of rain for the next 10 days.

Weather looks really good on the 28th when I'm scheduled to pick mine up, still willing to trade spots if possible!

I was very impressed with what weather mode in our C7 can do. Spring Mountain taught us how great it works in the wet. If it rains on the way home switch it to weather and be conservative. Enjoy your new ride and safe travels.

If you can drive 500 miles without getting wet, you need to buy some lottery tickets. Did you get the model with the suede leather exterior?
I see motorcycle riders stop under overpasses when it rains.

Clean water then washed and detailed before you see it! That is the difference!

I got caught in a whiteout between Rock Springs and Green River Wyoming on I80 in a 15 Z06. Put it in weather mode and made it. Have been caught countless times in the rain. These cars are built for in climate weather.

To answer your question, just call the Museum delivery folks. They are usually very accommodating and will do the best they can. I would think a day or two would not be a problem for them as long as you give them enough notice before. Good luck.

Experienced.a similar bad weather situation back in 2019. The fine folks over at the NCM allowed me to keep the car outside at the museum overnight, just not inside as they were full to the gills back in their delivery prep area.
