Added a second Vette today

I finally officially took possession of my new 2000 Bowling Green Corvette Convertible today. She's pretty well gone over with a fine tooth comb, anything not up to par having been replaced or upgraded. Awesome exhaust, CAI, and tune... Fantastic stereo with Bose speakers and all after market amps (2), subwoofers, etc. It makes some noise but right now I'd rather keep it off and hear the roar.

They need her to run back tomorrow to have the windshield replaced (it has a small chip in it) and with my wife following me home, she said one of the turn signal lights is out.

It raised my insurance by $95 every six months, but worth it.

Thanks. She came in to the Corvette shop where I store my 1980 and they went through her from top to bottom, fixing anything that possibly had any potential issue before I purchased. There's still a few things to be finished, but they told me to take it now and drive around and see if I notice anything additional I'd like for them to look at, fix, or work on. I love the shop I deal with... hard to find that kind of quality "stand behind your car" anywhere else.
