Default I Smell Upgrade

Well I sold my 96 LT Coupe last week and have moved on to a 2013 GS Coupe (Crystal Red).

I want to thank all the fellow CF C4 posters who have helped me over the past 3 years. Your knowledge was greatly appreciated.

Here's the link on my new Vette story from Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet.

Great buy, and the greatest color of all. If you would like, look into it that color with GunMetal wheels looks bad ***.

Congratulations. Now you need to transplant an LS7 into the thing.

Awesome.

Taking the train in and driving home is how I picked up my 85. For the 90, my wife and I flew down and drove home. Unfortunately, neither was a new C6 ...

I just got my 2013 GS Coupe (Crystal Red) last Tuesday. In my case I kept the C4...

There are a few negatives, though. The controls on the door are too far back and I have to twist my wrist to open/close the windows and to press the button to get the door open. There's no light in the console glove box, something I didn't like about the C5 either. I hate fishing around in there in the dark trying to find my garage door opener. I found out yesterday that the glare from the rear window makes the navigation almost unreadable. Why didn't they angle it to eliminate that? Reminds me that the C5 HVAC display had a curved lens guaranteed to pick up glare from somewhere.
