Yeah, you're right. God knows there are never any silly threads on this board. 30 lashes!

Well I don't wanna' hear it!
'Cuz I ain't got none.
If you don't want to hear it, then perhaps you shouldn't ask the question or make the comment.

NOTHING comes with the 2004 Corvettes.
The first thing I did was look for a tape to watch when I got home.
I had nothing.
I guess 45K is not enough money to spend to get a freaking tape!!!!!

No pen, paper or flashlight on the 2004's.

My dealer told me the owner's manual pouch, with pen/pad/flashlight and the video tape were $38,600.00 and the car was free.
Well, I just had to have that owners manual pouch with all those goodies, soooooo. (Oh yeah, the car's pretty nice too!)

My 98 purchased used just late last year came with the VHS tape, the manual in its zipper case, and the 'mystery bag' for stowing the cargo shield. No pen and blank paper.....DRAT! I felt so bad I had to make a DVD of the VHS tape, and find a pen that would look good in the manual zipper case. Still looking for the 'jusrt right' notepad........Maybe on eBay........

Video??? We don't need no stinking video! 
Didn't get the pad, the pencil, the video, or key FOBS.
Got the car, the owners manual, full tank of gas, fresh oil change, new tires, and the damndest case of PermaGrim you ever did see.

Did anyone get a front license plate bracket/surround with their 04? I saw somewhere where earlier models had something like the rear surround that came with the car....
I ended up buying the clear cover, but the actual plate screws and the way the plate looks is still crap....
