Virgin vette advice?
Hi everyone - I will hopefully soon be the proud owner of a 2004 Corvette C5 targa top and this will be my first American car. The vehicle has just over 61,000 miles on the odometer and in excellent condition. Any tips on ownership, servicing, points to watch or car care then please drop me a line - cheers!
