He's been helping a lot of us over at another forum get our cars quickly at MSRP. Hoenst and reliable. Apparently Yeoman's has a lot of allocations -- I ordered an 05, waited and it never came. Then I re-orded as an 06 with Calros at the end of June, it got serialized in two weeks, and now it is expected to arrive on August 29th.

Brooklyn represent! 
Drive it like you stole it.
You may want to think about having the oil changed after 500 miles or so, too, as break-in reputedly can deposit tiny bits of metal shards in your oil relatively quickly. I know when I first changed my oil (at ~1,000 miles), the oil was black.
Where in Brooklyn are you? There's another guy from Brooklyn on here (WERKED66) who has a Sonic Blue. He's told me that there is an informal car show every Friday night down by the Best Buy on Bay Parkway. I've been trying to get out there, but work has been killing me. Anyway, maybe we can all meet up and get a photo for the boards.
Good luck on your drive!

DEFINITELY still on for Power Festival at Moroso - without a doubt!!
You know - I just might get bored though and cruise out your way one weekend before then..... I'll let ya know!
You should see about doing Fun Ford weekend next March - my brother is after me to show and run the car! (he'll be running BULLITT of course). So that should be fun.....
The hood is the RK Sport California Dream hood - (RK Sport out of CA) - ordered during the presale ($450 versus $650 retail) and had a local place finish paint and mount. Can;t say I jumped with joy about the service with the place I picked but in the end,, after jumping through a few hoops, it is done, cool, and does the job.
Actually does the job TOO well - at around 80 or over in HIGH WIND, the air it channels to the vent over the CAI filter makes the left corner/seem of the hood JUMP.
So I also will be doing the hood pin thing. (even though I wanted to avoid it). But it was posted rock solid at 110 after the pins so that's what I need

Rent a UHaul pickup and a full trailer and spare your Car from the abuse that can come from a long distance drive.

I thought of something. For breaking in your engine, most recommend varying the load on the engine for the first 1,000 miles. So, maybe to break up doing a constant 70-75 on the interstate, take some detours every once in a while like others have suggested, for the whole trip. Find roads that somewhat easily join back up with the interstate a decent distance north, so you can just hop back on.
Have a fun and safe trip!!!

Hey Jack! I'm right down the block from Best Buy in Bensonhurst. I will definitely have to go check out the show when I get back. As for the oil, I'm seeing that quite a few people are suggesting the 500 mile oil change. Looks like I just might have to do that. Thanks for the heads up!

Hid guys, Steve and I just stop for the night. The Sky Line Drive was good. Only 5 mins. of rain. Not too hot, Perfect for the Vert to have the top down. We only passed one other 05, it was a red fire six. We waved to them as we passed. Thought maybe it could be one of you. Any way, not a single 05GT Vert down here. Had a few people talk to us about the car. Steve went into a Burger King and they wanted to talk his head off. They hadn't even seen an 05 and asked Ha Ha, "What year is it?" Where in the heck have they been. Any way we are in Waynesboro Va. Not much going on here. Will let you all know more later. If you see us wave
