For the love of the drive

The story.

I've been a fan of Corvettes for many years.  My first vette was a 2008 base coupe.  Modded it with exhaust and a tune.   It didn't last long in the garage because I came across a 2012 Grand Sport that we had to have.  I guess I got bitten by the Corvette bug because the following year after the new 2014 Stingray was announce I knew I had to have one.  Once the 2014's landed at dealerships I had to have the Laguna Blue Z51 in a manual.

Since owning the 2014 car we have had a lot of fun.   Many trips to Tail of the Dragon, Bood Mountain and more.  Lots of cruises and car shows with Corvette Cruisers of Atlanta (https://www.corvettecruisersofatlanta.com/).

Keep the good miles coming

Change sooner when the oil-life system requests it; the manual calls for service within 600 miles of the message. Annual service is the maximum time, not a fixed mileage recommendation. Track use has additional requirements.
