    Agent☣Orange II

    AgentOrange
    II

    Well hell, it's been a while since I update the Agent☣Orange I thread. Turns out, my ride was fully "warranty blocked" from GM about three weeks after leaving the factory. Tried to delve into it and best guess was a hurricane condition at the dealer lot turned my ride into scrap even though I paid full retail at CarMax because it wasn't recorded on CarFax. That's a heads up to anyone doing business with them to do your diligence before signing anything...something I learned the hard way.

    Anyway, offloaded the scrap Vette and letting the lawyers handle it but I managed to convert on fourth down to a beautiful 2012 Grand Sport four months ago and neglected to follow up here, well honestly I was just cautious for the other shoe to drop just in case I made another mistake. Nevertheless, on my path to my C7 Z06 in a few years, I'm currently piloting this beautiful beast that I took some picts of today.

    It is a 2012 Corvette Grand Sport with Z16 suspension, dry sump oil in Inferno Orange compared to Atomic Orange before. Basically, if you were to take an ordinary C6 and add a bunch of mods like the Z-51 suspension, huge-ass brakes and tires, performance gear ratios, dry sump oil system, flared fenders and the like, you'd end up with a Grand Sport. Cheaper to buy it this way than to piecemeal it together.

    So, all the parts I was amassing before still apply and since it's still orange, my screen name is still valid so here goes so picts:

    Nothing really exciting here, just sitting at a drive through waiting and trying to capture one mode of the HUD. It looks much better behind the wheel, not cut off.

    All for now. Plans include 1" drop, tinted windows, stereoeeoh install, shift kit, LED lighting, F1-style rear lower lighting that I'm fabricating, headers, cam and a bunch of other stuff I'll create a separate thread for.

    We just purchased my wife a new to us car. I almost went to carmax myself but I read a bunch of bad reviews about their shady warranty department and was always confused about how a remaining manufacture warranty would not be covered on a car that is still within year and millage warranty I guess your expierence is one of the reasions as to how it would not be covered. We instead went to a ford dealership and bought her a ford certified preowned vehicle and its warranty goes even longer than buying new . It was alittle bit more than carmax prices but piece of mind and knowing when we pay the car off in 4 years its still gonna have some warranty on it .

    He just said needs Hooter's girls, not that I specifically needed them. They can really scratch the hood IMO, especially the more substantial ones. Besides, unless they're wearing waxed shorts and micro-fibre tops, I don't really want them on my car.
