Well, I washed and waxed my 2011 GS today because we are having a Corvette get-together this Sunday for Corvette owners in our neighborhood.

The person putting on the Corvette meeting already has 18 people that will attend (didn't know there was that many Corvettes in our gated subdivision).

Here is the flyer I received:

"We understand that you are a Corvette owner living here in Cape Royal. Please come and join the other Cape Royal Corvette owners at a cruise-in/meet and greet on January 25. Please see the attached flier for details".



Nice color, I have the same but no plane in the background darnit LOL

Installed z51 rear leaf spring and sway bar. Chopped the first ring off the stock lowering bolts while I was in there to get the ride height where I want it. Looks awesome, now on to the front.

Here's some examples but anything goes, new mod(s), leaving another car in the dust, picked up a hottie, out to dinner, any milestones, any memorable moments etc.

Took the car out for our first day road trip. Headed for the coast. 60+° and loving it.

Yep, pretty happy about that...

Sent pics to the dealer, just waiting for them to call back and tell me to go **** up a rope.

Oh yeah! Hi, my name is Tyler and this is my first Corvette!
Holy cow, that had to be a hard hit. No way the previous owner could not have been aware.

This component is not covered under GMPP. I found this out when mine was discovered broken at the steering rack attach point. Replacement cost including labor was almost $1600. Would have been much higher but the shop gave me a huge break on parts and labor.

If memory serves, the cradle cost is on the order of $1200.

I went to the dentist and did some shopping in and around a nearby small city, about a 50-60 mile round trip. Sunny and cool, a perfect day.

But I did NOT see ONE OTHER Corvette of any year. That's pretty unusual, considering where I was.

Replace my rear shocks with blisteins heavy-duty and install some side vents, it took longer to install the vents then it did the shocks

Doing a car cam...



Still need to focus it , add a daylight filter , align it some , zoom it some, put in a permanent 'key on' power source. But its a good start.

Had a bunch of shopping to do, and wanted to buy two 10' sections of plastic drain pipe. I was sure they would fit in the coupe, but checked before I left home -- from the passenger floorboard diagonally to the rear of the hatch was only 8' or so. Dang, glad I checked first.

But I bought a ton of other stuff, plus groceries. Had the cargo net filled, plus the passenger seat and floor.

Was 82° and nary a cloud in the sky.

Took mine to the golf course. Ever since I bought my new Forester a year ago, it's been the golf car but I decided to be different today.
