Got to drive my new C6 off the assembly line today

Just got back from Bowling Green, Ky. It was well worth the trip. We got to spend the whole day walking along the line watching the car being built. The plant staff were very accommodating. It seemed as though the line moved slower than I had expected - possibly producing a better end product. Best of all, our guide arranged for me to get to start the car for its first time and drive it off the line. If any of you have a C6 on order, you really should make the time to visit as its being built. We were not allowed to bring a camera but our guide took these for us...

Mark, While participating in the 2005 Hot Rod Power Tour, some of the cars stopped at the Vette plant. You didnt mention it, but some C6 buyers pay for the option of getting their Corvette delivered at the nearby Corvette National Museum.
Congrats on the purchase and delivery of your new baby.

Thanks to Tom Hendricks I have been there and done that on a very private tour he arranged and it was well worth the trip!! Did they allow you to ride with the car through the chassis dyno? That was also pretty wild to participate in as well. Nice shirt by the way.
