Default Brand new here.....

......in fact, I'm so new that I haven't even picked up my 2010 yet! It will be here Friday.

I've wanted one of these for a long, long, LONG time and now that my time has come, I'm so excited I can't stand it!

I would love to hear anything about the 2010 that other members may have come across that is quirky, unusual, good, bad, ugly or wonderful!

Thanks!

Sophie

Thanks guys!

The last Corvette I had was a 1985 and that was over 20 years ago so I am sure this is gonna be a whole new experience. I've been driving a Miata for about 5 years........another big change!

Yipeeeee! I'll post pics over the weekend.

Hey y'all,

Picked up the car Friday and love it! I have to attend a funeral in Des Moines Iowa tomorrow so I left Chattanooga Friday afternoon after picking up the car and took my first road trip. It's a huge huge change for me from the Miata......I can actually pass someone on the interstate now!

I do have a question though. Is it true that you have to park it in reverse (it's a manual) or the battery will die? I can't find anything about that in the owner's manual, but the guy at the dealership told me that.

So far the drive up here was great and I"m so in love with this car......
