New R53 Owner!

Hello all!
I'm a new R53 owner as of yesterday. I picked this up from my father who no longer had a use for it. It has 103k miles and is completely stock. I plan to use it as a daily driver commuter car (70 miles a day round trip).

Over the last 5 years I've been bitten hard by the track day DE bug. I track a C5 Z06 that while street legal is 95% for track use. I plan to set up the mini for mild track duty for when the c5 is under repair or if I want to focus on instructing. Or traveling light to a smaller track better suited for momentum cars.

While my dad keeps the oil changes current, I suspect everything will need to be flushed and freshened.

I've had great experiences on the corvette forum and look forward to working with this forum as well. Thank you in advance!
Dan
