Just bought my mid life crisis car, 2002 model. Discovered it doesn't have taillight or dash lights on the 300 mile trip home. Looks like I'm going to be replacing the multi-function switch this weekend. I couldn't be happier. 2002 white/red interior/auto/26,xxx miles. On a side note, Chevy parts appear to be cheaper than HD stuff.

The proper thing to do when buying a first Corvette is to take along a veteran Corvette owner. Like you, I went alone, although I did not commit the penultimate Corvette sin - buying the first one you try out. If you did that one, you might want to keep that to yourself.
One of the things I found after purchase (like you), was a broken sun visor. It was the passenger one. The mirror was missing. But like you, I am as pleased as punch with my over-50 purchase. Took Margaret to my sister's place a couple of hundred miles away and the 'vette did fine.

Have fun - that is why you bought her,
