Brand new to the Vette family
Purchased a 2005 last month with 22k on it and drove it home to Minnesota from Arlington Texas. Its nicely equipped with Nav and the suspension package.
Thanks to this forum with helping me out with some minor issues that I was able to fix:
1. The roof creek drove me crazy when I first got it although now its silent thanks to a tube of dielectric grease.
2. Glass distortion on the windshield and side windows. Nice to have full coverage glass that allowed OEM GM glass as the replacement.
3. Very minor brake squeak which I can't hear but the wife does. The forum set her straight that its NOT a problem...just ceramic pads.

Congratulations on the new Corvette from another MN member. I'm out in Carver in SW metro. Just picked up mine a few months ago, an '08 Z06. Didn't have to go as far as you, found mine in Chicago.
Enjoy the car!
