Yes, it was in the Transformers movie. Sideswipe. I own two. One in the package, one in robot mode clinging to the side of my bookshelf. And, after careful study of it in Corvette mode...I agree about the front grill and taillights. I'm afraid that the new owners at GM won't allow much...

A bit far for me to run over to see if I have any of them already... E-bay is probably your best bet. And you'll get the best price that way too.

As a fellow collector, dude, that sucks. What's your location? I might be interested.

I dropped a skull on top of my car. Appropriate. The engine's dead until I buy injectors. The suspention's dead until I replace a strut. And I named her after a pirate, Anne Bonny. (Hey, it's a '91 Olds CUTLASS Supreme.)

Congratulations to you and SWEETHEART. May the restore be swift, the miles be many, and the breakdowns few.

And the problem with naming it is....? :confused People, for as long as I know of, have named ships, boats, places, things, and in this century, aircraft, spacecraft and submarines. (And submarines have been named since they were invented.) We name exploration vessels, robotic and manned, we...

Question: What was the first wive's name? The one who gave him the Corvette? She loved him enough to get him the car. He loved her enough to keep the car until the day he passed on. Perhaps her name would be a fitting tribute. Hopefully, they are reunited now, and ride with you when you...

Still, interstate battle scars and all, you need a police escort. So that other drivers will pull over and stop, rather than wreck while admiring your car instead of driving theirs.

Um.... Looking closely, I don't see it. I'm thinking, the white spot to the left of the rear window body molding? Nope, probably the flash from the camera. That tiny, tiny black spot below and to the left of the Corvete Sting Ray emblem on the right deck? Naw, probably reflection. Is that...

I'm confused...what'd you notice?

Great pics.... If you're near Columbia, Mo sometime, stop by the Break Time at Stadium & Ash, and have them call me. I'll get you "discounted" gas for a ride & a chance to take photos of your 'Vette for my photo collection. (I just added another 18 shots of the yellow C6 in town this...

Properly torqued, you should have no problem. I will say this, though, watch your tire guy at rotations and replacements. I've seen "mechics" at all levels screw up the simplest concept. FOLLOW THE PATTERN. For a five-bolt tire, you should move around the wheel in either direction, skipping...

I've told of my first encounter with a Corvette in my introduction. My first ride, though, was years later. My mother, after divorcing my dad and remarrying a cop, went out and got a '71 orange Corvette with a white top and tan interior when I was 10. I was sitting in the living room, reading...

When I was having some radiator/coolant trouble a couple years ago, my master-mechanic father helped me troubleshoot it. (But, it wasn't a Corvette, so you may wish to take this advice with anything from a grain of salt to a salt lick.) You've started off right - Check the thermostat first...
