A straight shot on the highway I got to bust that bad boy open really testing out the kick of the car. 0-60 in about 3 seconds the Corvette really has power and when you add in the Apple CarPlay feature it makes navigation very easy. We were heading to farmland so I knew I had to get the most out of my ride from the start, but the car handled just as great on the winding roads of New York. My first stop was the Buttercup Farm Audubon Sanctuary where I walked along some trails and got my taste of nature. Birds, flowers and fresh air was well-deserved reset from the busy city.

I got to see how the grapes were grown, and the wine was made. I arrived right before the yearly harvest so it was an amazing experience I bought 3 bottles 2 to cook with and one to drink later that night.

I logged on to Zagat and found an amazing place called Ship To Shore I ordered a crab cake and a pan-seared red snapper that was to die for.

The ride home was even better, knowing that gas mileage on the Corvette was good enough to same my pockets some extra cash.
