New Owner
Greetings! I just purchased a 2018 2LT Corvette. My first. I’ve wanted one since I was 5 years old, and now 35 years later I have one. I’m a Mustang convert, just couldn’t bring myself to pay $45k for a GT when I could have a Vette for just a bit more. I’m really excited for the car to arrive from Atlantic City so that I can start to learn the ins and outs. She will be my daily driver.
What advice do you have for new owners? I’m already planning a Wolfgang ceramic coating as soon as she arrives.
