Just walking by
Hello,
Got this beauty for 10,500 with 74500 miles on it. Its a 2003 base model i used to have a 2017 Audi a3 in which i traded in to get this car and so far i don't regret it at all!. I have never had a car i guess this sporty especially a corvette and i was so drawn to it especially the pop up headlights and i couldn't just say no to this car. When i got this car it had a amp installed and a radio or stereo change in which i will be changing soon to be having a screen and a backup camera. Dealer told me test drive the car for the week and if i didn't like it too just bring it back. When i tested this car i just couldn't leave it i was so drawn to the looks, potential it has, and just the history and at the last day of the week i found a poster or flyer that was made in 2014 about some corvette show or some event to take your corvette and to chill with other corvette having people and it was just under the seat and i was so shocked and that is the last reason in which what made me to decide to keep this car. Im only 20 so i keep being told im "too young" to have this car since its meant to be stored away and never be pushed past 70 mph but i beg to differ!!!. I have been daily driving this car from work to home and its a hour always and its been fine if not better than expected.
if any of you could link me or anything to another post/forum to ask what i can do to this car i would be very appreciated, as well i would love to make a list and start doing them!!
