Servicing a new vehicle for delivery is totally different from normal servicing. They just don’t exercise the same level of care. You get the ‘Top Gun’ service tech on that initial delivery vs some ‘Tank Mechanic’ on normal visits.

66 here and no issues.
I Thought I really wanted a '19 Vette before the LC. Figured there were some others not so enamored with having a V8 right by their head in a G8 Vette. I rented a '17 for the weekend to test drive.
There are YouTube vids on the easiest way in and out of a Vette. They are needed. Apparently the front bolsters wear quicker if you do it wrong.
No matter how I angled the approach, the front spoiler always dragged on my driveway.
That sent me to looking at LCs.

C7 spoiler is designed to drag. If the LC had one, it would also drag up and down my steep driveway. As it was, the LC barely made it without scraping. C7 Z06 would not.

One reason I bought my LC when I turned 50 was so I could still get in and out without as much effort. At 70 I probably be driving a bus lol
