Default 5 year anniversary

today marks 5 years and 40+ thousand miles!

33 and rain here today so I didn't get to drive it, but the double din bezel and radio that are on the way should be a nice anniversary gift.

Also, my wife just rolled her eyes because I've never posted an anniversary status about her on Facebook, but multiple about the car

so here it is: the very first iPhone 4 picture, getting ready to leave the lot, at 10pm!

Congrats to you!

My 5 years will be this spring with a lot less miles. Part of being a road warrior, never home to drive it.

To be honest, if your Facebook sucks, then it's completely your own fault. Why be friends/follow people who post things that you think suck? It's not too hard to unfollow and block out content you don't like, and it allows you to see stuff you do like from friends around the world.

As as far as trouble with my wife, she knows why I don't post a lot about her. with my car it's not that serious. i post on Facebook to update people I don't see every day, or even every month/year. I see my wife every day, I don't need to update her that at 11:16 I still love her. I don't even need to be friends with her on Facebook.


So to keep it somewhat corvette related, anyone have any other opinions on which double din headunit you like? I was all set on the AVIC5200NEX but since my double din bezel won't be here for a while, I figured I would hold off.

I have Kenwood in my Z. Recently I sold my Pioneer Nex 8200 with gps. That was a nice headunit. Just did not need it to keep. The nice thing on that headunit also has lifetime update on the maps for free. The pioneer was in my Toyota truck than I traded it in. I hope this helps.

Congrats!

I'll be having my 15th with mine in April or May, need to look it up and see what date it was.

Knew I would have it a long time, if not for life.

Keeping your Corvette for life?

seeming that way. This has been the first and only vehicle out of 7 that I've never had any urge to sell. I also don't ever really want to modify it until a really good sale comes up, I've been very happy with the performance
