My 65 was my first car, the learner. How to drive, pull an engine, do bodywork, I wish someone would have borrowed it and wrecked it. Did I mention it had two extra doors!!!

Be honest with yourself and you will sleep much better tonight. There are probably much bigger problems to face tomorrow, like trying to find out how the same 6000K led bulbs from China look in a 2005 base 1LT interior as compared to a 2013 GS 4LT interior.

I have a white 2001 GMC Yukon with four map lights; two for the front passengers and two for the rear passengers. Oddly enough, my Arctic White 2013 C6 Z06 with Magnetic Ride and F55 over-ride only has two. I wonder if it has something to do with my Yukon being a 4x4 and the Corvette is looking at weight savings for performance?

Serious responses only.

Yes, that can be annoying.

So is the unforgivable sin of sending (letting auto-correct run amok) without first proofreading.

Seems that it's a custom in all three of the ride related forums I belong to. Even simple stuff, there might be a tie in somewhere if the right info gets posted. Someone above mentioned about a claybar- perhaps someone with a particular color of paint noticed a problem when they applied it, as a for instance. (That actually happened on the Kawi owners group- my particular color is a two step color that certain cleaners mess up the overcoat. Someone else had it happen, and answered when a third party asked about that particular cleaner.)

Oh yeah, I've got a 2013 GS in Cyber Grey with paddles on the inside wheel.
What good do paddles do on the inside of the wheels? Are you trying to use your Corvette as a boat?

Mine's a Centennial GS vert that I added an NPP, Vitesse, and pcm/tcm tweaks to.

Well if you get upset at that, then why did you not include when people say, I have a 2008 C6. I mean after all we all know what years were in the C6 Gen. Now for the actual post, I only add info when it has something to do with the OP.
