Hey Doug,
What do you know of the car's history?
I am not far away, over in Green Valley. I also have a '04, but a manual and a vert.

Not really a good time of the year to be crawling around the Corvette checking connectors and chassis connections, is it??
As often noted, these cars are quirky with electrical issues at times. My driver's side mirror re-adjusts itself when I am not driving it; just sitting. Not often, but more than once. I had the driver's door panel off once when I replaced speakers, guess I need to do it again to check the mirror connection.

Have to get together one of these Fall days.....

Later,
LannyL81

Hey LannyL81,

No sir, since I'm much closer to 80 than I am 70 it is not something I would look forward to. I only know about the last 8 years or so of the cars history. It appears to have been taken care of....... I do have some receipts and the like. I had some oil pan leaks taken care of just after I got the car......... the shop foreman said at the time the car was in very good shape. Maybe we'll be able to hook up down the road. Have a good one.

Doug

Actually, I've never heard of them........... but it's worth a shot. I'll give them a call and see if they think they can be of help. Thanks for the response. Have a good one.
