Make sure you read the stickies at the top of this section called "weights, measures, ratios..."
and the one at the top of the tech section called "column lock"

Checked out "column lock". Apparently, automatics from '01 & later are not affected. This affected automatics 2000 & earlier, & all C5 manuals.

:Seeya and welcome to the forum. Congrat's on the purchase, you chose wisely. Not that there is anything wrong with the Miata, great car with a strong following just in a different class all together from the Corvette. Enjoy the ride.

The 1st Vette I looked to buy, back in October-November, '05, was a sweet Ruby Red '86, 135K mi. Could have gotten it for $3K

; all it needed was a digital dash replacement & some A/C leak repair; maybe a $1,000 worth of work. The wife held me back; she was paranoid about future repairs.
