Default Got her yesterday!

Finally got to collect my Corvette yesterday. She's NRB/Kalahari, A8, Z51, 3LT, with just about all the option boxes checked.

Fantastic delivery experience at the 'mothership.'

Great trip to Lexington, KY, yesterday with top down. Woke to a dreary, rainy, 50 degree day and drive to Fairmont, WV.

On to Criswell tomorrow for oil change and then to NCAA Women's Lacrosse Final 4 in Chester, PA. What a way to get to know her!

Peace, out.

Default More...

This is my 6th after 1989, 1998, 2002, 2004, and 2009...all convertibles.

Simply spectacular vehicle albeit hugely complicated.

Will need more study hall time to properly enjoy...AND RESPECT...all her capabilities.

No issues thus far save apparent problems with various 'memories' such as seat position, exit, mirror dipping, etc. I suspect those may be due to multiple fobs in/near car.

Will update soonest.

Cheers!

I set mine to move to exit settings when I open the drivers door and back when I start the car. I have found with my M7 they only move back on startup if I have the parking brake set. I turned the mirror dip in reverse off because I'm not used to it and didn't think it was necessary with the backup camera.

I'm sure you'll get it figured out soon!

Nice color combo on that new vert of yours. If that's a dark blue jacket, you sort of match the car (lol)
