Is the car a used car? Dealers and some private sellers use some nasty chemicals to clean up cars for sale. Especially cars that have smoke odors. If you have a garage put it in there and leave the windows down. I had a car I bought used once that I had to remove the interior and shampoo the carpets and all the fabric. Then I cleaned all the hard surfaces and all was well.

Hey Everyone,

Just got home from one hell of a drive from Dallas to San Antonio and I think everything is fine.

The first 45 minutes to an hour of the drive, I got a little woozy, but it only got better as it went. The ride is definitely more "floaty" than my C5 so it's probably just going to take some getting used to. I also feel like I'm sitting up higher than the C5.

I'll still be getting the car checked out under warranty to be on the safe side, I'll let you know.

Thanks for being awesome everyone, I expected a bunch of "you shouldn't own a Corvette" jokes lol
