Default First Corvette

Got my first Corvette on Friday, and discovered this forum while looking for advice on how to reverse the lowering the previous owner did. Its a very helpful community here!

I got a 2008 C6 and have pretty much been driving it anytime I am not at work this week. It is incredible, and makes me very glad to be working and living in Germany (I am a DoD civilian in Kaiserslautern) because of the Autobahn-I can run as fast as I want and do it legally. In fact, a 5 miles stretch of autobahn is part of my daily commute.
