Default Greetings from MN - first Vette!



First timer here (be gentle) from balmy Minnesota, and proud owner of my first Corvette! (why didn't y'all tell me these were so cool?!)


It's only been 25 years since I last drove a stick, so apologies to those behind me as a do the herky jerky, but oh that Borla exhaust makes it fun to listen to me learn!


Looking to upgrade the factory radio and wanted to get some advice on going to the factory Nav unit or a cool aftermarket option - opinions welcome please.


Also I don't want it to sound like a taco rocket, but would like to add a sub and improve overall sound quality - would love to hear what others have done with success.


Lastly, to those fellow black Corvette owners - who's had success with what wax or polish or detail products? I'd like it to stay clean for more than 2 minutes.


Thanks all!
