The Corvette is home

We stopped by Rick Hendrick Chevrolet on Saturday afternoon on our way home from Washington, DC. I wound up buying the car but couldn’t bring it home yet as it was in the service area awaiting new tires.

I got the call yesterday morning that the car was ready. Melissa and I drove back up to Richmond yesterday afternoon in rush hour traffic to get it.

I enjoyed the trip home in it, stopping off at Pierce’s BBQ in Williamsburg before finally getting home around 9pm last night.

I had trouble using CarPlay on the way home. I tried two different cords and both kept disconnecting. I thought maybe the USB port in the center console had gone bad. But I ordered a wireless CarPlay adapter last night and it has worked great today.
