Next time some of you guys take a road trip in your Corvettes, try out the HUD, cruise, and even the wipers and radio...

I know my daily driver serves a different purpose than many on here though. Here are some pictures from a 9 hour road trip to Orlando, FL last spring. Only 1 stop for gas.

snow last February in Alabama (notice HUD works in daylight):


do you think I had to use wipers and washer fluid on this trip?

I know I'm always bitching about the electronics on this car but I have to admit I use all them. Even the dopey electric suspension.

I don't use the targa top. I change out from solid to clear in the winter but I haven't left it off for ages. I wish it was a real coupe with a sunroof.
