Default First time owner
Hi all,

First time Corvette owner here. Out in Manitoba Canada. Just picked up a new to me 07 c6. Nothing to fancy. Bought it to drive it. Didn't want a garage queen.. pretty excited!!

70k miles
Automatic. I know I know!! it's so my daughter can drive it.
1lt - a little disappointed about the hud but whatever..
AR rims
Black widow muffler. Loud and has nasty drone - hoping to install some resonators for the time being do dial it down
The rest is stock

Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
