I'm excited to have my GT! I've lusted after the shape since I was a kid, and am super excited to have my own now. I've considered building my own replica over the years, but with little kids haven't been able to get past the safety aspect of them, and I love the overall package of the newer GT. My car was originally owned by FLY GT40, and I'm planning to pick it up in August and do a big road trip home with it from WI to FL with my 11 year old son.

Congrats!!
If you're coming thru FL on I-75 and it works out that you feel like taking a break at a Gainesville exit, I'll be glad to bring our GT and treat y'all to lunch, dinner, snack, just to talk, whatever

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm buying the car from a guy that I bought my '91 NSX from in 2017, and we've been friends ever since. My son was 3, and we flew out and did a big road trip home with that car as well. I still look back at those pictures and have such amazing memories from it. I will have owned the car for 2 months before taking delivery which is so hard to wait, but the memories from the road trip will be worth it. I’ve set up tours of Road America, Indianapolis motor speedway, National Corvette Museum, and we’re going to drive the tail of the dragon and cherohalla skyway.
Any advice for picking hotels safe to park in?
That's such a nice offer extrap. Send me a pm with your contact info, and if we can time it right, that would be fun.
I can't seem to post pictures... The picture link asks for a web address, and I can't drag and drop a picture like in other forums.
I'm in north Orlando area.

Sounds like great trip planned. We are in north Orlando area too. Altamonte/Longwood. Maybe we can meet up once you get GT home. My son started early with GT like your son. Hopefully we are not only creating good car guys for future and custodians for these amazing cars. Enjoy the trip. KO
It's great to teach the kids to carry all of this on. My son loves cars. I'll look you up once I get settled in with the car.
