Default First time Vette owner from Michigan


I've been lurking on this forum for a few months. There is a lot of useful information being shared here and I really enjoy learning more about my car along the way. I recently took delivery of my first Corvette, a 2019 Grand Sport 2LT on Feb 19. I've only been able to drive it home (24 miles) so I am really looking forward to warmer weather here in Michigan so I can take it on it's second maiden voyage.

Got the Vette out this weekend. I put about 175 miles on it. Still breaking it in and getting the feel of it. It certainly turns quite a few heads. I have already noticed people taking pictures of it, etc.

It's really something, isnt it?
I've noticed people drive up next to me & pace my car, and the passenger is holding their cellphone against the glass of their window, taking video. It happened three times on the way back from Tennessee, and it's happened two, maybe three times since. It's kind of neat, & makes me feel special. ...What about you?

People definitely take notice, I guess you don’t see too many in Michigan, especially this time of year. As long as it’s not negative attention I don’t mind at all.
