Long time reader, first time owner

As you can see by my join date, I've been a member for quite a while. It took me that long to buy my first Corvette, a 2019 Z06 2LZ. Fortunately, it didn't that long to figure out a plate.

Congrats! Very nice. Suggest you get splash guards on those front fenders ASAP to protect the brake ducts and quarter panels from rocks, The front tires will sling stuff right at those targets. First thing I did with mine when I got it and 16,000 miles later not a single blemish on the quarters or ducts.

Next thing is to pick a date to attend the driving school that GM pays the majority of. Do not miss this opportunity, even if you have no intention of tracking your car. It is an amazing experience.

Enjoy the car and respect that 650/650.

I see you are in Ohio. Bring the new ride down to cars and coffee held on Saturdays. I have an Admiral Blue Z and try to go multiple times during the year weather permitting. Usually good turnouts. Loose the front plate😎
