Dead set on purchasing, but few questions

They shorted my radio and nav unit trying to install CarPlay in my 2018. Had the vehicle for half an evening. Then took to dealer at 8:30am the following day for what was to be an hour and half job. It’s been a week and half without my vehicle with no eta on a nav unit. Talk about disappointment…

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.

Both cars are pretty low. For me test driving the C8 my knees had a hard time clearing the low portion of the dash. Either way these are "sports" cars and have to expect some "discomfort" getting in and out. If not then buy an SUV or truck 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
