I am planning on picking up mine from the dealer, drive around a bit near my house, then come home and spend some quality time with it by cleaning it! If I can take delivery before the end of March, then I will be driving it up to Cherokee, NC, as me and the wife are planning on going there again for our anniversary for a few days. Then on the way home I will be taking the Blue Ridge Parkway home from Cherokee to Asheville (about 35 miles), provided that there is still not snow on the pkwy like last March when I tried to get on at 3 different entrances. As far as the music, probably a combination of engine/variety of CD's! Here's hoping that production starts on time and everything goes well with the car arriving shortly after it is built.

Probably just by myself for a little while, kind of a bonding thing, and then on to....everywhere...at least until I run through a tank or two of gas. Might even sleep in it the first night...
Might throw in something loud, angry, and Camaro-ish after the windows down, to the floor stage is over.

I highly suggest you make your way over to the "Dragon". It's one of the best drives in the US!! As long as you are in the area of Cherokee, give it a go!! I love it.

If I take delivery near a weekend, I'll suddenly become "sick" and I'll have to make that call to work. Then I'll fill the tank and head South first. Maybe Florida, then over to Alabama, then Texas, then Kentucky, and then back to Virginia. All in 4 days or so. 
I wasn't afraid to drive my Vette in rain, sleet or snow. This car will be no different.

I'll be picking my car up from a dealer in Tampa so my first drive will be across the state on SR-60 to the FL Turnpike or I-95 and then straight home to West Palm Beach. Hopefully there is slow traffic on the 2-lane parts of SR-60, I'll be more than happy to pass them all.

I was thinking of taking the Dragon as well. I was over near there this summer, took the Cherahola Skyway home from Gatlinburg. Wasn't that impresses compared to the BRP.

Since the dealership we ordered our car from is about 350 miles from where we live, I suspect we'll drive around the town a bit before loading it into the car trailer to haul it home. There's a couple of mountain passes to get through and there will probably still be rock on the road so it won't get driven any distance until the roads are clear.

Both Buffalo,NY Hooters closed a couple years ago so that's out...
Good question; good thing I have plenty of time to think about it. So far as the music goes, said in another thread, no doubt in my mind...
Thunderstruck the first time the car goes into gear...

The Dragon is worth a try. Trust me on this.
