tires I have a slightly different issue. Saturday, I had a front GY hit a boulder some kids through in the roadway just before I got there, and when the guy in front of me swerved to avoid it, there it was headed for my undercarriage. I swerved, but it got the front tire and also apparently hit...

insurance This is from a while back [90's], but when my daughter was at UC-Davis and had her own car out there in California it cost me $100 a month roughly for her on our policy with USAA. However, when my son was at the University of Houston, he got rated on the location by county where the...

Daily Driver 1999 Chrysler 300M. Customized. Had it over 8 years and 92K smiles. Still knocks em dead when I roll by or hit a car show.

Z06 Is there a chance I could get two? Really need two since I never win the raffle at the NCM.

shine me on I am a polish [1/2, Irish 1/2], polish-shine junky. I can be sold a product that protects and shines by anybody, in any booth, at any show. I bought IBIZ at Carlisle last month, I had Ice with me, and also at home had something I got at the Museum six months ago that was perfected...

cruise I may be able to make it. The NCM had another charity cruise to Irvine, Ky, on Friday nite, the 25th to benefit the NG guys who are deploying, and I thought about going to that one after work, but this one being on a Sunday at mid-day is a little easier to get up for. I will mark my...

spare me Probably not a good person to respond since my C-5 has the GY run flats, but I have stopped even thinking about it as an issue. It has become like the HUD. I don't even notice I am using it and never looking at the dials. Just becomes 2nd nature. Same with the spare, I have stopped...

a/c If you have a model like the C-5 you can get the module from Top Down Technology that lowers the windows while you are 30 yards from the car so the hot air gets out before you get there to crank it up. I use that approach all the time in the hot weather.

Rain-X I tried the stuff a couple of times about 10 years ago, and was really disappointed in how hard it was to get a clear finish on the glass at the outset, itseemed to always smear. It seemed to work OK after a lot of elbow grease, but I just did not think it was worth the effort. I still...

emblems It is a teen punk thing. When I was stationed at Fort Sheridan we had a rash of Mercedes hood ornaments that were being broken off of cars. Turns out the kids who were doing it were wearing them on chains like jewelry because it was "the thing to do." When we caught them...gee guess...

bra My wife got me one for my 04 thru MidAmerica for about $85 I think. It has the emblem hole in it. It is black. I had it installed and then did not like it that much on the Medium spiral grey color so I have not had it on since. I would only use it on long trips as I already have the 3M...

Vette care There is a guy over on the Edmunds car site Corvette Board named Starrow68 and he is out your way. I would go over there and ask him if you don't get any response from others you have emailed. He knows his stuff and is a race buff too.

licking I just got a headache reading this thread. Outta here.

roof Hope this recall does not filter down to 04's later on. What a stupid problem, really. [I have only had my roof out twice since I got the car two years ago. Once to ad the roof striping, and once to check to see if the molding was still ok after 2 years.] It was such a nice day I drove it...

Mass. Dealer Never had a Vette worked on there, but the big dealer I saw when visiting the North Shore was Hillcrest, in Salem, I think. They were real courteous to me when I had the wife's Eldo serviced there last summer, and when I was looking at Vettes with my daughter, they were really...

seals I had my Ziebart neighbor put them on my 04. If they come from Mid-America I don't think they will stick. I ended using superglue gel to keep the driver side in place because whatever they came with would not hold. It seems to be doing OK now. Do they work? Not very well in my opinion...

top down Got mine a year ago. If I can program it and get it to work anyone can. I only use the window down feature. Only issue I have found is that if you have the window[s] down a little bit, you must make the unit run them all the way down before you can make it go up all the way. I think...

tires Yokohamas also have good rating in other types of tires, so you might want to consider them too if they have the right size. I am going to look at them when it is time to change out.

run flats Last winter I had one 25 psi warning come on. Couldn't understand it altho it was in the 20 degree range at the time. I went and pumped some air into the tire and then the sensor said I was at like 42 psi. I knew that could not be right, but I let a little air back out anyway. Then...

Blue Who I have a poster in my office of a Guldstrand Grand Sport 90, and it has kind of a pastel blue which looks nice with the solid white racing stripe down the middle. The print is titled "Clean and Mean." Got it at the Museum for $10 and had it framed with pastel blue border. It gets a lot...
