I Love This Car!!!
Just took the vette for a spin up M22 along the bay here in Leelanau county. Beautiful day, blue sky, blue water on the bay, smooth road, little traffic, great tunes playing, people checking out the car, and I'm driving a vette. 
How can it get any better than this? 
Now for the serious question: I have a slight pulsing of the brakes when I lightly brake. Easy fix? Thanks.

Sounds like a great way to spend a Monday. Wish I could be out enjoying my car right now too. As for the pulsing, it could be warped rotors.

M22 great drive 
The wife and I drive around up there every fall; stop and have dinner at Boone Docks in Glen Arbor. I may have to make a couple of extra trips this year just to drive the vette

Buy some nice slotted rotors and save yourself some $$$ and do it yourself. If you can change a tire, you can change a rotor! Really, it's that easy. As for not being able to tie your own shoes .......wear loafers! 
Typical of these cars

Actually, I do wear loafers during the summer.
