Retired 1st Corvette
Finally got my first Corvette this week!! Bought a 2000 Torch Red Coupe with 13500 miles...red interior and both tops. Had to drive 350 miles to pick it up, but the drive home was great. Need to put new tires on as it still has originals, any suggestions for a good ride and long wear tire? I won't be hot rodding or hard cornering too much.
Would like to find a CD changer as well??
