Just now 253 miles, 2019 White/Red/Black Top/2LT/NPP/8-Speed Paddle/Chrome. Incredible car. Slowly figuring out all the "stuff".
I keep the NPP on Tour on the Spinner and Sport on the Display. With this combo the exhaust is open all the time. Been using the Paddle Shift all the time too. Figured out the CarPlay with the iPad plugged in for Maps plus figured out the FlashDrive stick for music. (Still working on filing the various songs/albums).
That 2LT power ventilated seats is a great option. Really cools the tail/back off with the top down here in mid-Gulf Florida. I use the Heads-Up Display all the time instead of looking down at the gauges. Helps with "defensive" driving looking out for the oldies here who can't see over their dashboard, the rednecks in tall pickups who can't see down over their hoods, and the kids checking out their latest texts.
I've found that I need to be careful of making sharp turns at stoplights and tight roundabouts. It's easy to underestimate how quickly the sharp curbs can come up since you are down so low. Surprised some lookers with the Remote Top Down and the Remote Start. Fun Stuff. Bought my 12 volt tire inflator, plugs and tools for a just in case tire flat. (Yes I know that they are run-flats but pulling a nail and plugging in a remote area is better than running on the run-flats a long way).
This car is a "cruiser" not a "racer" so no Black Wheels/Wings/Flares. Very classy plus its the colors of the '53.
Read all the way to the end of the C7-General BB, and will start again. Lots to learn. Bought from Kerbeck with a local Courtesy Delivery ($500). Did my own prep in trade for a couple extra gallons of gas. (Really didn't want the local dealer kids driving it around anyway). Got my first "Great Ride-Man" from a guy my age, 70, the other day while driving at the beach. Corvette "Waves". (Some C7's don't do the "Wave", all others do). Moved up from a very nice C5. Lots and lots of looks/smiles/thumbs up...Bob
Anyone know how to keep the WiFi Hotspot working without On-Star? One of the things I do is run my iPhone to watch cameras in my home to keep track of my 97 year old Mom while I am out for a spin. With no WiFi, I'm burning up expensive Data time for cell-phone use...Bob

Four post lift, race deck flooring, lowering on stock bolts, Borla Atak and a rear diffuser coming in the spring!
I just finished the installation of my new four post lift. Not doing RaceDeck because I actually weld in my garage.
Be sure to post photos when you are all done. Love to see the finished product. Hopefully you have more room.
I picked it up at the Museum last week - then a 2000 mile road trip home. The GM front end cover did a nice job of protecting the nose from bugs, stones, etc.
Can anyone point me toward where I can order the clear or smoked tail lights, side marker lights and reflectors as seen in one of the stingrays above??? Pleeeze
