Music
So tonight I took the Vette out. Car is now at 113 miles after almost two months of ownership.
I finally decided to play music for the first time. I played a few tracks from my phone. First track...It Keeps You Runnin' by the Doobie Brothers.
I'll admit the stereo sounds good, but after hearing the exhaust note for almost two months I kind of miss that.
Let me caveat this by saying the car has been in Tour mode. I haven't even explored Track mode yet.

Car is so beautiful though I'd hate to see anything happen to her. You always get at least one thumbs up from people while driving it. Awesome experience and I find there is something new about the car every time I drive it.

The C7 is like a drug dependency...only a good one....... once you actually get around to driving it..... you will want more of it.... and more.... and you will find you can't wait to get in it again and again.

Please don't laugh at anyone like that with low mileage. For some of us, like me, the car has been more in the shop than in our garage! And the service tech has put on more miles than us owners have!

My last 2 C5's each had 66,000 miles after 2 years, My C6 was toned down a bit and had 80,000 after 6 years. But the C7 only has 7,800 after 4 months. Been playing to much golf.

Even though I have other vehicles, my C7 is a DD.
But I live so close to work, I only put about 100 mi/wk on it.
Thats the joke...have 200mph on the speedo, but my average speed for any given tank of gas (for the last 15 years) is hardly ever above 21.4
OP, if you have NPP, get into the sound management options and change NPP from auto to always on.
(where "always" = above 1700rpm)

Nearly 12K miles on mine, the pleasure you get from driving it far surpasses the "new car feeling" of seeing it just sit there in the garage. Even with all of the years ahead of me, I make sure I enjoy my purchase every day that I can!

some of us work for a living and cant afford to trade it in if we get bored
its a long time investment (and no, we don't expect to make money when its time to move on)
most of us also have a second, commuting car for work and around town errands
weather in the North also adds to "garage time"
