Wake up, guys. What have you done lately?
Come one guys, liven up! I can't stand how dead it is around here sometimes. I keep scanning all the other vette sites, but I have to say that this one is the most, well lets just say "civil". So I choose to come here most often. Unfortunately, it's also the least active. I know, I know the car just came out.
So let's break up the ice a bit here . A seemingly popular topic on C5 was the old "what did you do to your Camaro today?". So, what have you guys done to your Stingrays lately? I hope you're enjoying every minute of ownership. (Sorry, I'm a little antsy to order mine so I'm trying my best to live vicariously through you guys )

Oh dear lord, thank you for getting the ball rolling.
Looks sick!

GQ4Life has been doing a lot to his C7…maybe he shoulda combined all of his threads into the "lately" thread. Thanks…it came out pretty good for a novice. Might have some touch up spots, but it's late and I'm tired.

I often wonder if a dashcam could prevent things like this from happening. As in, if you bring the footage with you to court and it's obvious that you're just following the flow of traffic when the officer happens to pull you over and you get the ticket dismissed.

I'm definitely doing the chrome strip up front like GQ did on his. Looks killer.

I'm looking into that. . .There is a thread going on that talks about dash cams and the quality of the products. . . I'll just take defensive driving at my local Fudruckers and it will not go on my record. . .
