Default Howdy, it's been awhile

I'm now on my fourth (and most likely last or a divorce is next)Vette;
2012 Red Grand Sport 3LT Convertible MN6 with all the trimmings.
Thanks to KARmart in Burlingham, WA for a fair deal buying this beauty with 5K and giving me a fair price on my '07 3LT Silver Coupe.

I'll try and post later but I do have a couple of questions;

a. Our driveway angles down alittle before flattening out and that extra
dip is grinding that plastic lip spoiler extension (not the one under-
neath). What can I lay on the driveway, any ideas?

b. The softer plastics now used on the dash, armor all still okay?

C. What is that little round plastic piece at the top of the driver's side
A pillar on the inside

d. Is it me or is the NAV system in my wife's Prius easier to use
smoother to operate?

In any case, glad to be back and I finally have my favorite car of all time........peace

A: lumber, concrete or the missus
B: armor all leaves a greasy residue and more importantly 'seals' the dash - this is NOT good on very sunny days. There are better options even for the rental car interior.
C: see post above
D; we still have a POS GPS in a great car. It's rubbish but there are some intuitive guides written here in the forum. Use the search

Good luck and enjoy!!

My GS seems to scrap more then my other vettes and, unless you re-do your driveway, probably nothing you can do. How bad does it scrap? Mine scraps a bit on our driveway and I expect that someday it will have worn off enough to stop scraping. That microphone is also for the Bluetooth, I assume. Congrats on your new vette. If you have to have a keeper at least you got your vert.
