We will never know what was affecting Dan that brought about the tragic event. I do not condemn him as I do not know what was in his heart, however I do condemn the act. I did not attend the memorial service in Canon City, but I do know that the RMCSC members who did were greatly disappointed...

No problem with filling my C7 Coupe - nozzle shuts off when full. May want to visit the dealer if problem continues. Also, go to the Stingray Corvette Forum and check their postings - if it is occurring with others, then they most likely will have a thread on it. Barrett

You didn't specify what area needs repairing. My C4 had the same issue as it was the Bose speaker cover that was well-worn from the foot resting against it. You can purchase the covers from Corvette Central. If it is the area under the clutch or on the firewall floor-board, I would suspect...

C6 convertibles are great, but I suggest starting with the 08 model as it came with the LS3 engine - more hp. I have the 08 roadster and love it, especially the power convertible top and 6 speed tranny. If you want an earlier model with auto tranny, remember that the 06 is a 6 speed AT and the...

Back in my very early years, LSMFT also meant "Lord Save Me From Truman". Now it should be LSMFO LSMFT slogan came about after the WWII. In the early 40s (yes I was alive), Lucky Stike slogan was Lucky Strike Goes To War and LS Green replaced the red target label on the package. One could...

I use top tier gasoline in my vettes as recommended by GM to keep injectors and valves clean. I was wondering about the C7 that by-passes the washing action of the valves with direct injection. I believe GM recommends top tier to keep contaminants off the injectors. From what I read, unless...

Rob I do not know if Dan was a member of CAC. I talked to him about it and he said that he tried to register as a member of CAC after the CF, but for some reason, his registration did not work. I believe he gave up on registering eventually. However, I do know that he visited the site on a...

Sad news and I do not know what forum to post this on, so I chose Mountain region. Many of you attended the CF in Colorado Springs and got to know Dan Samento and his wife Prisicilla. Dan lead the cruise to the car show at the Royal Gorge and the cruise afterwards. He also was the DJ and the...

Welcome to the CAC from a 74 year-old who has been in Corvettes since 1960 - one is never too old to own a Corvette. We need photos. Had a 2002 Z06 and loved it. Barrett

Yoda and Tom Thanks for the Birthday wishes. I guess 74 is the new ???. Anyway, the 08 convertible is out and enjoying the Colorado highways and by-ways. Thanks guys for remembering Barrett

Personally, I think as many Corvettes that can be restored should be restored. After all, there is only 1 one-millionth Corvette, and it is restorable. I would hope that the Black C1, and the C3 Spyder can be restored to their previous state. Another 1993 Ruby has been donated to the NCM to...

I was thinking of attending the Bash this year, but when I learned that the NCM could have large out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance for the sinkhole disaster, I decided to donate the amount I would spend in attending the event. Hope everyone that goes enjoys the Bash. Will be at...

Is this a National Council of Corvette Clubs show and is it sanctioned? If so, go the the NCCC site and click on the Competion Manual and then go Concours section 7. Choose the classification you are in, then look at the judging sheet. Don't forget to look at the Tech inspection sheet that...

Been in several C7 Convertibles and never had the problem. Red on Red is the perfect choice for me with M7 and hopefully I will get a new one, 2015 or 2016, within a year. Been reading Corvette magazine's review of 3 C7 verts, base, Z51, and Z51 with magnetic selection. The base with magnetic...

I was planning to go to the bash this year as well as having registered for the Caravan for the 20th, but decided to forgo the bash and sent the NCM the money I would have spent getting to and from the bash instead. They need contributions as the insurance will not cover all of the sink hole...

Happy Birthday Guys. At my age they come too fast, hope yours are slower. Celebrate my 39th each year. Barrett

While at the NCM last spring, they had GM engineers and a convertible (was a prototype) present and not all functions worked (such as the trunk opener). I asked about the fob and raising the top. Told me that the GM attorneys were concerned about liability if someone raised the top with...

Rob, nice write-up to debunk the last Corvette. Of course GM won't give out info to anyone, journalists or otherwise. Last Labor Day at the NCM 19th Anniversary, I asked Harlan Charles about the new automatic transmission (twice) during the seminar on the 2014 Corvette. He politely responded...

Tom FI was available as an option in 1965 as well as A/C. 771 Corvettes with the 375 hp engine with fuel injected were manufactured in 1965. Actually A/C was a factory option in late 1963 and also 1965 (RPO # C-60). A lady in my Corvette Club (circa 1968) in KC had a 64 coupe with factory...

I've used Dr. Don for my 91 and 94 vettes, my 86 Blazer (cassette) and my 1994 pickup. Excellent service, cheaper than what I could get them repaired for in town, and they worked perfectly. Dr. Don upgrades the CD player to play computer generated CDs without problems. If you google Dr. Don...
