Hello!

I picked up an 07 last Wednesday and am very happy with it so far. I had posted a Wanting To Buy thread at the last minute, but then went ahead and pulled the trigger here locally. The wife didn't care much for Crimson Red but decided she liked it after seeing one.

I look forward to learning more here at the forums. Thanks for the vast amount of info!

Here's my new (to me) vert.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I'm taking the car back to the dealership for some minor issues. The Service Tire Monitor warning is on, and the sensor on the driver's side door latch seems to be worn. The passenger's side opens fine. The driver's side only opens if I press it in a certain place.

Clean the contacts on the door and TPMS might be bad.

I'm in Missouri City, just outside of Houston.

I'll try cleaning those contacts now. Thanks.

Congratulations on getting a Vette and welcome to the forum.

Also check the tire pressures with your own gauge. My dealer delivered the car with all 4 tires under inflated and I had to go back twice to get them to fix what they should have easily gotten correct.

I think the colors look great together.

Thanks Don.

Yeah, they were way under-inflated. When I set them to just under max psi, all of them got a reading that they were overinflated. I ran across the C6 FAQ thread (wow!) and found the TPMS toubleshooting one. I don't have a tool, so I'm going to leave it up to the dealer to get it sorted.
