Health Check
Decided to bring the new toy to County Corvette in West Chester, PA for a quick once over. While I think the purchase was a solid one, with the dealer being reputable and the awesome find of all the paperwork in the trunk (a literal chronical of the vehicle from mile 5 through 200 miles ago), the one outstanding question were the valve springs....replaced or no. Pretty sure that peace of mind is worth $130 and an excuse to take the car out on the first 65 degree and sunny day.
I'll loop back with the results.

good luck, hope it checks out ok.....are you nervous?
yesterday I replaced all the McPherson struts and the rear shocks on my DD Toyota minivan, my 25 yr old son was there to do the heavy lifting....I woke up in the middle of the night before we started and I was nervous about it....it was like Why be nervous this isn't a big deal and we do this type of stuff all the time, and then went back to sleep.....I told the story to my son while we were having coffee before we started work and we both laughed about it. we had no issues and 3 hours later we were done. good luck on the check up
