Default First Corvette!

Hi everyone, my name is Christian. I live in Central PA. Coming from a Mustang. Just purchased this 2017 Stingray last Friday...only 700 miles on it. Super happy, looking forward to learning from everyone!

Base stingray. I want to do some side skirts and maybe an x-pipe but that’s about it. Nothing to void the warranty. I modded my mustang to the moon but was afraid to drive it cause I didn’t want to blow it up lol. Just going to enjoy the heck outta my Corvette!!
