    Battery Problems

    If you use your Vette as a daily driver I would say either check or have your electrical system(including the battery)/charging system checked. If your vette sits alot I would suggest keeping a Battery Tender (or something like it) on the battery. The BT will keep it charged between...

    Any 2 post lift not fit under a C5?

    C4C5, thanks for the info on the lift. Sounds like a sysmetrical lift is the way to go then? From what I have been able to deduct from the info I can find on the different lift web sites the difference between asymetrical & symetrical lifts is asymetrical allows the vehicle to be off to one...

Eng's send "up the chain of command" only to have those recomendations stopped by the bean counters because they think it costs to much...

    Tire Mounting

    I know there are a few tires out there for the C5's but remember that the development enginners at GM ( I know a few of them) do spend alot of time and effort designing the handling, ride and noise levels around the factory Goodyear tires. So keep this in mind when the time comes to replace...

    Daytime parking at work... cover?

    It's a $50,000 dollar car.........if I drove mine to work everyday I would keep it covered.........keeps the sun away from the paint along with all the other contaminates in the air and also keeps the interior from drying out........if you don't use a cover you will have to clean the car alot...
