My friend Bud will always be Yoda to me: wise, possessing an inner strength, loyal and always quick with the right thing to say in any situation. From his brandishing of his online light saber to showing me "the hockey hand shake," from listening to his life experiences to watching him get up...

Not REMO!! This is awful news! :( My friend Remo, gone? No, it can't be! No more kidding around with him about his daily regimen of winter meds, once his Corvette was garaged for the season. No more boasts about Quicksilver is the fastest color for Corvettes, and he was only only helping...

No! Not Jeff! He was wise and kind, a great character in the community of Corvette enthusiasts. I'm truly saddened by this news. We have lost a great man and a wonderfully great Corvette guy. We are all diminished by his passing. Jeff, I hope you're busy treating the almighty to one of your...

Happy to help, JSS. Good luck on troubleshooting your codes. :)

Very nice look, Remo. I'm impressed. But I'll be curious to hear durability reports about the spliter.

It was the 70's. Bell Bottom jeans, brown shag carpeting, disco, Jimmy Carter. It was a decade where taste resided solely in one's mouth.

Hi J2, Unfortunately, for reasons known only to themselves, the Corvette engineers designed the electronics in the C6 such that you cannot pull codes in a C6 at all, without a special diagnostic device. At least, I've not heard of anyone who's figured out how to crack the system in a C6. -Patrick

Tony, I'm glad the CAC was able to help. And, welcome aboard! :welcome

We have been repeatedly told by both BP and this administration that taxpayers will bear none of the cost of cleaning up the Gulf. If that promise is violated by BP, they need to be held accountable for breaking that promise in Court. If the administration tries to raise taxes to pay for the...

What the Feds handed BP was a $68 Million "running tab" for reimbursement of the government's efforts to clean up the spill. It's the first of probably many such bills. BP's problem right now isn't financial- that have the reserves to pay these bills. BP's big problem is its current public...

Thoughts and prayers for Jesse's mom and the whole family.

Or maybe your winter meds are distorting your perceptions. :chuckle

I'm sure if GeekInAVette finds this thread, he can give you a detailed (read: lengthy) explanation for how it happens, but there is science to back this up. Cold causes things to contract, and that includes air molecules. Your tires, as they sit on a cold concrete floor in your garage for...

I have to say, I really like that picture- the quality of the lighting, and that massive lingenfelterized hood. Very nice, Remo. :thumb I thought about that, Mark. One would hope when the Vette decided to pounce, the rock would be avoided by a driver paying attention.

I can honestly say I've never given it any thought. I just kept them up because it never occurred to me how it might look with the top down and the visors up.
