I can't stand this new 2014 Vette, the C6 with the exposed headlights was a challenge but acceptable now the C7 just sucks. :mad

On cylinder of my vette produces as many horses a the whole engine in the beetle. :L

You have a point there. Since I drive 70 miles (roundtrip) everyday because of work I find my self driving:

Hi, late last summer I flushed the coolant system and replaced the coolant. At the same time I replaced the brake fluid (over 2 years since the vette had been put in service). Thanks.

I figured as much. In the end they are recomending things not really needed but for which they can charge a lot of money. Thanks.

Besides the Oil/Filter change, check fluids, and tire condition. Is there anything else I should do for the 15,000 mile checkup? Thanks.

Or maybe the dealer is trying to make a quick profit from an unsuspecting owner. :mad

I am fast approaching 15,000 miles on my 2004 C5. According to my manual the 15k scheduled maintenance includes basically an oil/filter change with a few items checked. So today I called my dealer and their 15,000 mile service is $329 and in addition to what the manual recomends they clean the...

I have almost 15K miles on my 2004 and the clutch is fine. I would think a clutch should be good for at least 50k to 60k unless you push it hard.

Oops! that is what I have been doing for the last 30 years. I better stop. :confused

This is my daily driver and thus my username of BugMan. ;) It is a fully restored 1970 VW Beetle, not as fast as my Vette but you will be surprised at the number of thumbs up it gets.

Well it depends on money. First I would try the cheap solution and see if you can live with it provided the scratch does not make it all the way to the fiberglass or the primer. Here it is: - Wash the car and dry off. Use liquid Dawn to get rid of the old wax. - After drying it use claybar on...

I went to the dealer for my regular scheduled oil and filter change. At the same time I wanted them to look at the radio buttons 2 and 5 since they were no longer lighting up at night. So I get a call a couple of hours later that they are having to order a new radio because the bulbs on the...

I like it a lot. But boy would I hate to keep that canvas top clean!

Have any of you guys had failures of the silverstar. I read that their average lifespan is the equivalent of 1 year of average use. At least that was the information put out by the manufacturer. I would hate to spend the time and money on a light bulb which will only last a year. Thanks.
