Finally
After a couple of years spending way to much trying to make a 87 Vette into a modern one. My wife decided to buy me a 2013 Grand Sport 4LT. My only problem now is convincing myself it is only a car and it is ok to drive it. I am a member of a motorcycle forum and I know I can find out anything I need to know here. I am fairly well up on all the specs and differences between Corvette models, but I am amazed how much more there is to know by talking to other owners. So my first question is what do I need to look out for on my new Vette? Looking forward to hearing from all of you. Mike.

Mike - congrats and enjoy. Just pick up a bucket, some micro fiber cloths and keep her clean! Oh a California duster (20$) from autozone is a good to have. Do NOT use armorall on the interior and invisible glass seems to be the preferred glass cleaner.
Best of luck!
