Wasn't sure about the battery protection, but read a thread that endorsed it, and for $100, OK - Wasn't going to get the suede at $995, but decided to when I found out it was $495 on the Vert (no suede in Vert top) - Wasn't going to get the carbon flash dash, but then figured what the hell, if I'm going to go this far into $70,000+ I might as well go all the way- And, my dealer gave me $1,000 below MSRP, and so decided to go for it all - After all, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime best of all Vettes - All the black, including the black wheels, I think nicely offsets the Torch Red, Red Calipers, Ad Red 3LT interior - Really like the carbon flash hood stinger, spoiler, and mirrors - Thought the carbon flash full racing stripes a bit too much black and better on a Coupe than a Vert - The hot chick (my wife) and I are retiring this year (me in January) from the federal govt where she works for GAO and I work for ICE in the Criminal Alien Division, and we are taking all next September to drive my Vert (assuming I get it by then) on a 30 day accross county trip from So MD to California and back visiting friends and two dozen National Parks - We are taking the northern route first in early Sept. to Yellowstone and on to Yosemite, down the left coast, and at the end of Sept. back through the southern Route 66 trail to Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, etc., down to New Orleans, and then back home - I figured the milage at about 10,000 (shall need an oil change or two along the way) - I call it the Thelma and Louise Tribute Tour
