Hello all... just got my first Vette this past Saturday.

'08 Coupe, Atomic Orange. Abosultely loving it so far, though a break-in period is never too much fun, with everyone passing me on the highway...

Anyway, I already have a few questions to post.. seems to be a lot of good info here. Updating the profile and adding pic(s) will happen soon, as well.

Thanks in advance for any help.
