Just introducing myself. 3 years ago I treated myself to a 2003 50th Anniversary Edition Convertible. My first ever Corvette. Anniversary red with slate interior. Yes… it’s an automatic. Had 17,000 miles. Have added about 2,000 miles since then.
Things done so far: 1) Had ALL fluids and battery replaced upon purchase. 2) Replaced original run-flat tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season’s 3) Replaced leaking F55 shocks with C6 Z06 shocks and had F55 programmed out. 4) Rebuilt both headlight motors with new gear guts. One was making noise so I figured other was not far behind. Better to do both at same time. 5) Installed Wind Restrictor wind deflector 6) Complete detail and ceramic coated.
Nothing outrageous. I just wanted a car to drive and enjoy and take to a few car shows. She gets lots of compliments. I’ve come to call the 50th Anniversay a ‘Gentleman’s Corvette’… very classy in style and color. She’s fast enough, and performs well enough, for the type of driving I do… and that’s good enough for me.
Welcome, Mark, what a beauty. You’ve gotten your Corvette just in time for prime driving season. I wish you both miles of enjoyment together!
Oops, I just read back through your post. Honest, I can read! I must have skipped over the first part about how you have already had your Corvette for several years. Hope you continue to enjoy your Corvette.

Hey everyone. Got a 2014 c7 in December with ~40k miles on it. Have driven it ~19k miles so far since then in 5.5 months and a pipe dream is to never get another car again - have this be a high mileage vette and constantly continue to improve it.
I just joined the Northern VA Corvette Club and these are the emblems I switched out w/ the OEM ones today to match the calipers. Looking forward to learning from everyone. I view the Corvette as the most All-American car that there is and one that is truly representative of the American Dream...it's the heartbeat of America and it's a pleasure to meet y'all!
