Default My "New to me" 2012 Grand Sport

Just parked my new-to-me 2012 Grand Sport Convertible 3LT in my garage... Automatic, MSRC suspension, chrome wheels, painted calipers, Grand Sport Heritage Group (hashmarks on both fenders and suede inserts on the seats)... Only has 7,000 miles.

Traded my 2007 Indy 500 Pace Car which had 78,000 miles on it, so as you can see, I enjoy my Vettes a lot despite only being able to drive it about 7-8 months a year...

I'm sure I'll enjoy the Grand Sport just as much!!!

Your car looks just like new -- maybe better! Ya can't beat a red convertible with a black top and interior. I think you'll really enjoy the GS's brakes and the mag ride! Congrats!

Hi maaxx... I am realising that I need to update my location... I moved earlier this summer to Lachute. I haven't been to ICAR, and it's really not far from where I am now. I will have to check it out.
