car wash I stopped going through a touchless wash at my local BP station because the step that you have to drive onto to start the wash ended up cracking my left front mudflap which did not flex. Had to replace them both when an airport parking garage speed bump got the right one a zero miles...

1st Mod on Cup holder Well, this weekend I did a mod on Guy's cupholder device. I had some decals that were given to me when I visited Hillcrest Chevy in Salem, MA, last summer to get my wife's Eldo a mid-trip lubrication service. Hillcrest has a lot of Vettes on hand, and I got to talking with...

Mid-America I bought several items from Mid-America since I got my Vette 2 years ago, and I have found the quality to of their products to be really spotty at best. Some front window shades that fold down and go into a bag, are virtually impossible to fold because the frame material is too...

seat belt extender Go to your Chevy dealer and ask them to get one for you. They don't advertise them but they will get one for you and they are free--at least I didn't get charged for it.

seat belt extender Did you ask about the complimentary seat belt extender?

color I couldn't recall if I voted on it, so I voted for the Silver one although both colors are OK with me. Course I have a Platinum 99 300m, a Pewter 00 Eldorado and the 04 Spiral Gray Vette, so my preferences were pretty predictable. Last non-silver/gray color vehicle was an 87 Toronado in...

cup holder Got the holder yesterday [that was quick] and did the install last night. Only one problem that I saw. Unlike the pictures on Guy's site, my holder does not function automatically like I thought it would. I put it in but it just sits there until I open it by hand. I waited a long...

Stewart I'd suspend him for a year from Nextel and make him go to trucks or Busch series if he wants to run. That would send a major message. If they can suspend a crew chief 4 races for doing what they all try to do--get an edge--then he should be suspended for the season for what he attempted...

Guy Guy--Viewed your message from home just a few minutes ago. Thanks for asking. I have a Medium Spiral Gray Coupe with gray interior, so that is why I opted for the clear. If it don't work when it comes then I will order the smoke. Not a big deal.

ditto Just ordered one. Looks really cool.

Stewart This guy needs a suspension bad. I could not believe the actions he took running #17 at 190+ miles per hour, and then he blatantly rants about almost getting sideways earlier by 17. What a jerk. I look for someone to put him in the wall flat if NASCAR continues to let him get away with...

Why not call Kerbeck and find out who they use? They do a lot of store to door sales and I recall seeing something on their site about how they ship em.

Aruba Well, if she is not "sleeping with the fishes" somewhere down there, she is more elusive than Bin Laden given the size of the island.

badging removal Heat the area a little with a hair dryer, or if llocated in a hot enough area, let it sit in the sun for a while. I have used dental floss, but fishing line would probably be just as good. Saw it back and forth, and then get some Bug and Tar remover or Goo Gone or 3M Adhesive...

Maybe my dealership "fronted" the cost of the GM Protection Plan, I don't know. But I do know that I never asked for it, or even knew about it; they just handed me the card and said it came with the car. The card has a phone number on the back of it that says for assistance call 800-631-5590...

Did they do the "indexing" thing on the 05/06 Verts? Reason I ask is that while visiting the upper room [2nd floor] where the Vettes are kept at my dealer in L-ville, they had a triple black vert there, and the door was ajar. When I noticed it was ajar and went around to close it, I notice...

The Best of Both Worlds Did your purchase come with a free two year GM Protection Plan card? Mine did, and it gives me all lube services for two years for free. I have an 04. I changed the oil at 1000 miles the first time, and every 3,000 miles since then. I am just over 9200 miles now, and...

Moderators With all due respect to the other moderators, Tammy is the best.

I put my bet on the solenoid being bad. Have had that clicking on other cars I've owned and that was the problem.

Good story One point of caution---just realize that that baby sits about 5" off the ground and the front end is longer than it appears to the driver, so you really have to be careful approaching parking bumpers and blocks, otherwise that first scrapping noise will bring out an "Oh, damn!"...
