Checklist before I pickup brand new convertible this week!
Exciting times I'm finally pulling the trigger
What do I need to protect the car for a five hundred mile ride home via Interstate? I know I should probably get mudguards, but what else if anything? Thanks, and yes I will post pictures |

All fluids topped off and air in tires. A good playlist and lots of stops just to take pics of the car with backgrounds you don't come across often. Stop at a biker bar and tip all the motorcycles parked in front.. like dominoes, jump in your car and drive the hell out of dodge. That's just me...

Yes, the splash guards help prevent that. It is a good idea to get them. They also look good, too.

Can you find some back roads along the way. I don't think a long interstate ride like that is recommended during the break in period...

if you are really that picky just pay some extra and get it towed because you are going to get rock chips

Take a slow, thorough walk around the car before you leave the dealership.Make sure you know how to use the tonneau cover if you're going top down. Link your phone to the car for the hands free.Sunscreen, GM windscreen, shades, good playlist, spare cash for the inevitable ticket!
