Default I'm back, any major changes?

After a 4 1/2 year absence, I am back in the Corvette fold. Just bought a 2012 GS Vert w/heritage package in white with red/black interior.

I still have a lot of my old bookmarks but wonder if there have been any major updates/changes/recalls etc for the C6 platform?

It's good to be home.

This is the new car, bought it from a club member. Now all I have to do is figure out the best way to get it to where I live now.

Darn! That is easy bro, drive it!!! And hurry up before the winter hits. It will be good for it, get it all all hot and worked up for 1400 miles. It will purr after wards. I ordered mine from an Atlanta dealer, flew there to pick it up, drove back to FL on all the back roads to also be done with the 500 mile break in period, it was amazing. I wanted to keep driving, came to boca where i live, kept going all the way to Miami and back extending the drive by another 90 miles. Welcome back!

I agree with above: a) beautiful car and b) with gsflyer: it may be difficult, but get there and "road trip" it back while the weather is holding in the good-range. What a beautiful trip that will be to S. AZ. Have fun!
