Default Hello from LA

My 2020 C8 convertible in Ceramic Matrix Grey, LT3, Z51, front lift, Lojack, and a few other goodies. I've had it for a week, done 500 miles so far and love it. The only thing I will probably do besides window tint is to look into getting different wheels, either Black or satin Black. I have also fortunately not had any of the 4 or 5 recall issues I have heard of, I think this is because my car was built only a month ago in mid November. I was told by the salesman that they had the corrections done on the 2020's coming off the line by then. The car is amazing to drive, I love the handling of a mid engine car with good balance

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your sharp C8!
Great you were part of a later build so the recall issues could be corrected as part of the build!
