Default Just Brought Home A Grand Sport!

Thanks everyone for getting me excited about Corvettes. Yesterday, I purchased a 2010 Grand Sport with only 1,100 dealer miles. It's black with two-tone black/grey interior, 3LT with Heritage Package. Dang, am I ever looking forward to this weekend. By the way, any GS owners near Long Beach, California?

P.S. Now I need to learn how to post photos on this site, and do an avatar.

Congratulations. I am next door in Seal Beach, but not a Grand Sport owner.

Black Vette = beautiful Vette! I wash mine about once a month. It takes a whopping 2 minutes to dust it off in the morning.

I know you keep peeking in the garage every hour or so right?

Enjoy! Welcome to Vette ownership.

Mine is black too. Don't sweat it. I did a machine polish and Zaino in about 2.5 hours. When the black is clean and swirl free, hands down the best color choice. Once you go black....you get a random orbital polisher.

APAUL...

You are so right. My garage is about 100 feet from my house. I can't tell you how many times I've walked back there to look at my new Corvette.

Regarding those who have made comments on "black" paint: I know what I'm getting into, as this is my third black sports car. I just bought a new California Duster!
