Thank you for the list, I am a newbee or will be when I fianlly get my vert. GM has not yet accepted my order.

1- Thou shalt not fail to wave to a fellow Corvette owner.

3- Thou shalt not feed thy Corvette budget-grade fuel.
4- Thou shalt treat thy Vette with respect; great power, great responsibility.
5- Thou shalt keep thy Corvette clean and waxed at all times, yet thou shalt not bring thy Corvette to an automatic car wash.
6- Thou shalt park thy Corvette in such a manner as to protect her tender fenders.
7- Thou shalt blow out carbon with a high-speed run as required.
8- Thou shalt not cruise on an unpaved road.
9- Neither friend, nor foe, nor even thy spouse may drive thy Corvette without first showing proper reverence.
10- Each Vette is an individual work of art; judge not lest ye might be judged.

Maybe for the first time, one commandment needs a part b. Make that one 8b: Thou shall not drive in snow.

Great list and some of the add-ons are pertinent too. However, to those suggesting that driving in the snow is acceptable, I suggest that such advice be considered cautiously.
I'm not demeaning the Vette's safety features, I'm worried about the other guy in the pickup or whatever.

Yeah, I'll agree on being careful, but if I had taken that truck out..........well, I'd been the other guy in the pickup!
