    Top 10 reasons to buy a Corvette

    Then on the other hand... Some thoughts on why a Corvette is better than a man (sometimes) - It has exceptional horsepower, especially at the top end. It will drive you to your mother's without complaining. It doesn't mind when you use the vanity mirror/light cause that's what it's there for...

    wheel locks problem

    I just went thru this with my tire change. Sent a $10 check off to Amcor for a replacement (and I'm still waiting). But had to get the wheels off. Imagine my surprise to find out "one size fits all" when we tried a friend's key. Why even bother with the locks!! jj

    92-93 Corvette Issues

    Bose Schmose Yeah, Topless knock on fiberglass - mine went a few months ago. I have had Tom Petty's Greatest Hits stuck in the CD player for a couple of months now. I like Tom but.... does anyone know how to get this to release without ruining everything? And you have never had to replace...

    Found some tires!

    Finally heard from Dunlop - the 255/45/17's are only available in the 9000 series and the 285/40/17's only in the 8000 series. Dealer said if I picked up any info different than this to let him know. So, this won't work (unless you're Drew). :eyerole Price on the GY Eagle HP's was $765...

    Sorry rwd, didn't mean to leave you out but I couldn't quite make out your position. Now we know where you stand on the Firestones but it looks like MrZ06 has just cancelled that vote out! jj

    Found some tires!

    The GSC's are being discontinued and being replaced by the HP's. That's why it you wait until spring you may not be able to find any GSC's and if you do at who knows what price. jj

    Found some tires!

    FYI This was getting confusing so I charted what I believe to be the various opinions. And this is very unscientific so don't write me back nasty messages that I misinterpreted your comments. Just add a post- I'm kinda sensitive that way! Goodyear: For - BullWinkle; vigman, Vetsvette...

    Transmission woes -- advice needed

    Go for the throat... I thought stuff like this only happened to me. I can't give you the tech advice but biz wise - if you charged the repair you got a leg to stand on. Request a charge back and provide your documentation. I have one pending on a starter that I was sold and didn't need...

    Found some tires!

    71Shark - so share the good news - you didn'y say what tires you are currently running that you are so happy with. In some cases Tire Rack only had reviews from two C4 owners, the rest were OTV's (Other Than Vettes). What rolls well on them may not translate the same on a Corvette although I...

    Found some tires!

    Thanks Carlo, I'm sure he'll call me on Monday. A friend with a C-5 had sent me to him as well so he must be decent. By the way, in case you haven't found it yet, try the Tower Shops south of I595 and University on Friday nights. Few hundred cars usually show up.

    Bail out C4ever - it's where you live. Turn those wagons East, young man. I forget all about anger management when I get west of I-95. Can't stand them there obnoxious folks and their rotten driving habits! And where did you find Dunlops? The two stores who advertise themselves as Dunlop...

    Doug's heater

    Com'n down! Doug - just think it ya did - ya wouldn't be going through all this! But I enjoy reading Vig's techno babble. Should I ever turn mine on and find it kaput, I'm driving straight away to Cali and dropping it off at his door. :( Good Luck!

    Found some tires!

    A little nip in the air The only rub I get is from you, Drew! ;) I got your culture right here. Parkas are for Alaska. A windbreaker is appropriate here when a tank top just won't do. Now exsqueeze me but I have some Dunlops to research and who knows, may even have tires by this afternoon.

    Found some tires!

    Yes I have the sensors and thanks for reminding me. I was just posting back to correct myself. I believe Falken is a Korean product and not Jap-o-nese. Now I can sleep.
